I hope every maga that voted for this and thought it was funny is living in a cardboard box by the end of the month

Mr clown Justin Trudeau are you Christian? ✋??I don't think so ?There are people are dying every-day doesn't matter Russian or Ukrainian what matters is people are dying every day every second every minute thousands people are dying, you are satan's clown

Portuguese here, I stand with you Canada! Eloquent, civilised words from your PM.\nEurope, UK, Canada and every civilised country, we must unite, that's how we become stronger. Donald's isolationism is a step back in every way. Just take a look at North vs South Korea.

Unfortunately Trump supporters won't listen to a word of this. Trump is just trying to weaken the Canadian economy so they're more willing to join us. Trying to strong arm every country surrounding the U.S. I want you to know that most Americans are against this shit.

Finally I can comment! Every Canadian channel has comments turned off because Trudeau is a hypocrite.

In the long run America will be 10 times stronger in every aspect as long as we don’t complain about the short term cost. Yes poor and rich alike. Have faith in trump he is a great man for America. Let’s stick it out till America makes everything we Americans need to prosper??

Completely insane....whats happened to the US and the other, strong politicians and members of congress that oppose this guy? Im telling you, if it came to physical war, every single able bodied Canadian would take up arms, and you might win, there will be nothing left to be proud of. You are starting WWIII dude!!!

American here. I stand with Canada and every country that stands up to our bullying, corrupt, soulless, despicable president. ??

Stop the flow and the tariffs will go. Every American should understand that.

2:17 To weaken the American lower class into slaves and the middle class into low class. It won't take long, either. Because of the opiate crisis, we lose more young men every day than they could ever have killed in a war!

Heys guys, I think you in the USA would be better asking this President to annex you until you can get rid of Donald for good...??? I'm from a country across the pond (Portugal) and this is the kind of guy I'd like to make alliances with.\n\nThat freak show trap your #1 and #2 put up for Zelensky last friday was sick. The civilised world really needs to unite and help eachother in every way and the guy you put in charge doesn't seem much into it. United we win!

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

ALLYS AND FRIENDS TREAT EACHOTHER EQUALLY 200 BILLION IN TRADE DEFFICIT A YEAR TO CANADA WILL HAPPEN NO MORE... EVERY 5 YEARS THATS - 1 TRILLION

Go Trudeau! Every son and daughter of Canada is willing to sacrifice their lives for their motherland. \n\nLet the rednecks meet us in the battle field, we will make them forget their defeats in Vietnam and Afghanistan…

Donald can live on his fancy gold toilet and he shits out the every day taxpayers that are trying support their families

I FUCKING HATE TRUMP WITH EVERY OUNCE OF MY SOUL AND CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DAY THAT I NEVER HAVE TO HEAR HIS VOICE EVER AGAIN!!!!!

Canada is subsidized by the USA???? man yall stand with enemy while for yearsssssssssssssssss the USA been taking care of every continent one way or another

Every single thing he is doing is strengthening Russia and weakening America

TRUMP will eat this guys lunch ! Pootie poot is not are problem i wish some people could grasp that your problem is every demacrat selling we the people into slavery!!!

Trudeau sounds pissed off, and has every right to be so. Trump is consciously destroying the West, including his own country.\nEurope stands with you, Canada!

He needs to resign every once in a while, because since he has he's been electric.

Canadians, please boycott the hell out of the United States in every possible way you can. I know a lot of you already were, but I hope more of you do it! I'm American and my country desperately needs to be taught a lesson, and I think your country will be the one to teach it! I am so ashamed to be an American right now, but I proudly stand with Canada! ??????

I just moved from my California home state for the second, but just to let you know Canada i'm with you!! This trade war with these countries, are ridiculous but only to line, and continue to line the pockets of billionaires like Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the tech family..... Trump has tried to stay close to Putin, but no one asks why?? We're not at war with Russia? He's been wanting the wealth Putn has every since he, and his wife visited in 1983.. He loves their minerals, and i ask President Zenlensky, if he signs that mineral agreement be careful how it's worded!!! J D Vance had know right to speak to Zelensky in that manner!! Trump, needed an education in government before he ran for any office, it's laws, etc... he's embarrassing when he speaks, calling other government officers stupid, and the like, like a child in school!! Why doesn't someone fact check Donald Trump vs Joe Biden with the things he's done vs the things Donald did while in office, as Biden knowing the law vs Trump as what he could do as a US President, not running this country like he runs his business!! I'm Georgia now, and still wouldn't voted for that man....!!!

Canadians have every right to counter these grotesque measures from this grotesque US president.

Canada must — simply must — join the European Union and, together with EU countries, create a defensive alliance. Every EU country should have the technology and capability to develop nuclear weapons, as well as nuclear weapons themselves. This would be the beginning of a new world. Unfortunately, America will drown in its own debt, but most Americans have chosen this path themselves, and they regret nothing!

As an American, I am totally appalled that Donald Trump is our elected president putting himself & his selfish agenda ahead of the American people. Allowing people like Elon Musk, who is not a government employee to run amok in this country doing what he pleases when he pleases under the guise of ridding our country of wasteful spending, without any type of oversight. I am appalled at the GOP that refuses to stand up to Trump for the people they swore an oath to serve faithfully because they are so afraid of what Trump will do to them if they don't bow down and do his bidding. Shame on every doggone one of you for putting yourselves first before our great country. I am appalled of all of the people who voted for Trump, you are all going to find out. This isn't some tv reality show, and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. Choosing to turn your back on our friends and ally's isn't going to go well and the American people are going to suffer because of it.

We don’t want this either, and the current administration is not MY government and I know so many people who feel the same way. Trump and his cohorts are a danger to the American people and I am disgusted and ashamed that he is the ” leader” of my country. We stand with every true democracy against this tyrant and all who support him and his plot to destroy the United States!

In California but 1000% Team Canada. I am actively seeking out Canadian products to replace those from red states. (Canadian Mist, Crown Royal and many others are excellent replacements for Kentucky whiskeys.) I hope (and expect) that Blue State governors are working with Canada and our other allies to put the squeeze on Trump-supporting states and industries. While I hold out little hope that Trump cultists will ever not be brainwashed, putting them through direct and maximum pain is the only possible way out. Canada, elbows up! Turn out the lights, raise the price of our oil and know that true Americans are with you every step of the way.

America has got a president, the likes of which have never been seen before. And that is NOT meant to be a compliment. This is NOT what any sane American could possibly want. Frankly, the pride I've always felt for my country is slipping away. All I can do is pray we avoid a war for the next 4 years and are able to repair broken relations with every country we piss off. That's just sad

We know he is dumb as dirt !! As are those in the government who bow down to his every demand. He is a scourge on this country as I have never seen before in my 68 years. How do we get rid of him and the others in Congress who are no longer serving this great country??

If orange man is bad blame democrats...you ran terrible candidates. You also gave away money like candy and allowed every illegal here

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

Canada,s arrogance towards USA needs to be seriously dealt with?? they crossed every line

Trudeau said something every America needs to listen to trump wants to become a dictator like putin and control all Americans ?

They should XXXX a Trump supporter for every migrant taken. I'd rather have Muslims and immigrants as my neighbors, as co-workers, than the average white lazy bums.

If you want to stop Trump in his tracks, if you want to teach him a well deserved lesson, boycott all American products coming into Canada and every other country around the world. Stop selling products to America, and ban Americans from coming into your countries.\nIn less than a month or even less you will have Trump on his knees begging you all. You want the bullying to stop?\nStop the bully.

I'm a South African. you can't start a war with every country. at the end of the day we all need each other to survive. Donald started with South Africa and i must tell you guy's... we doing just fine i promise you. this won't be easy but trust me eventually things will be way much better than before.

If Justin waited a little longer, he might not have needed to resign. I don't support Trudeau, but I appreciate every word he said here.

This is crazy,,the building sector will be destroyed, building supplies will sky rocket,and who going to building these structures now that immigrants are gone..Businesses will close as many businesses won't be able to afford business supplies and dont forget about Mexico tariffs so get your gardens going because vegetables will be just as costly as eggs,now china is doing the same with their goods coming from china..the American citizens will struggle and they closed the consumer protection agency .so fraud and corruption will be running blind on America and every American will be naked in the face of fraud and corruption..GOOD LUCK AND WATCH YOUR DIX FOLKS..

47 is transactional. On every front. We see what appears irrational, nonsensical, maybe even dumb. The question is, what deal has he already made for which he will be rewarded? The consequences 47’s actions spell the tearing down the status quo and the power of democracies around the globe. These things seem to be 47’s goal, not just some unfortunate consequence.

And there you have it, with every fact the Canadian Prime Minister lays on the table, he refutes each and every untruth or inaccuracy by Trump……\nImpressive speech!

Trumps own words, “Vote for me, you will never have to vote again!” \nThis one is showing up on several pages. Make up your own mind. \nThere is something rancid in America, a slow, creeping rot that smells like cold McDonald’s fries, aerosol hairspray, and the unmistakable musk of a country too sedated to recognize its own hostage situation. For years, the idea that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia was dismissed as paranoid fantasy—just another wild-eyed conspiracy theory, another overblown headline in the endless saga of American political dysfunction. \nBut now, two former Soviet intelligence officers—Alnur Mussayev and Yuri Shvets—are saying it outright: Trump was recruited by the KGB in 1987, groomed as an asset, and remains under Russian control to this day. \nAnd the worst part? He’s already back in the White House. \nThat’s right, America. You did it. You walked face-first into the banana peel of history, slipped, and fell straight into the arms of Vladimir Putin. Trump was kicked out in 2020, spent four years plotting his comeback, and now he’s returned, like a bloated, orange cockroach that just won’t die. The Kremlin’s favorite stooge is running the country again, and this time, he knows exactly how to stay in power. \nIf you think this is just another round of the Trump Show, you’re not paying attention. This isn’t politics anymore. This is treason. This is foreign subversion. This is a God forsaken coup in slow motion. \nLet’s break it down, nice and simple. \nAlnur Mussayev isn’t some Twitter conspiracy theorist with a tinfoil hat and a podcast. He’s the former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee, which means he knows exactly how Russian intelligence works—because he was part of the system. And what he’s saying should make every American’s blood run cold. \nAccording to Mussayev, Trump was identified, recruited, and compromised by the KGB in 1987 during his first trip to Moscow. They saw him for what he was: a narcissistic, greedy, attention-starved buffoon who could be easily manipulated. The KGB flattered him, promised him business deals, and planted the seeds of political ambition in his empty little head. And from that moment on, he was their man. \nBut Mussayev isn’t alone. Former KGB major Yuri Shvets said the exact same thing in 2021: Trump was cultivated by Soviet intelligence because he was an easy mark—too stupid to realize he was being played, too egotistical to care. They saw him as a useful idiot—a man who could one day be nudged into power, a walking, talking Trojan Horse for Russian interests. \nAnd now? The plan has worked. Trump spent four years in office weakening America from within, got booted out, and now he’s back for round two. \nIf you had told the American public in 1962 that a Soviet-backed asset would one day sit in the White House, they would have burned Washington to the ground before letting it happen. But today? Nobody seems to care. \nThe media treats this like just another wacky subplot in the never-ending Trump reality show. Congress is too busy fighting over meaningless culture war nonsense to do anything about it. And the American public? Exhausted. Numb. Checked out. Years of scandals—Russia collusion, Ukraine blackmail, classified documents, tax fraud, sexual assault, an attempted coup—have fried the country’s brain like an overcooked steak at Mar-a-Lago. \nTrump has done the impossible. He has committed so many crimes, so openly, so brazenly, that none of them matter anymore. \nAnd now, with Mussayev’s revelation that Trump is an active foreign asset, we have finally reached the point where the biggest political scandal in American history is met with a collective shrug. \nThis is how democracy dies—not with a bang, but with a goddamn eye-roll. \nThis is the part where the skeptics start clutching their pearls. “Oh, come on,” they say. “If Trump were really a Russian asset, wouldn’t there be more proof?” \nTo which I say: Are you blind, or just willfully stupid? \nLet’s go through the evidence, shall we? \nTrump spent his entire first term doing exactly what Russia wanted. He attacked NATO, calling it “obsolete” and threatening to pull the U.S. out. He tried to blackmail Ukraine into manufacturing dirt on Joe Biden, because weakening Ukraine helps one man and one man only: Vladimir Putin. He pulled U.S. troops out of Syria, handing power over to Russian forces. He picked fights with Canada and Europe while cozying up to dictators. \nEven now, in his second term, he is more openly pro-Putin than ever. He has made it clear that he will not protect NATO allies from Russian aggression. He is actively dismantling America’s alliances, just as Russia planned. And while Americans scream at each other over whether Target should sell rainbow t-shirts, Trump is quietly selling the country to the Kremlin. \nAt some point, you have to stop calling it a coincidence and start calling it what it is: treason. \nThe United States is running out of time. If Trump serves out this term without being removed, America as a functioning democracy is finished. \nThe media needs to wake up. Enough with the “Trump fatigue” excuse. This is not just another scandal—this is the single greatest infiltration of American power in history. Journalists need to dig into Mussayev’s claims, demand declassification of intelligence files, and treat this like the national emergency that it is. \nCongress needs to subpoena Mussayev immediately. His testimony must be public, and every document he has should be reviewed. If there is proof that Trump has been compromised since the 1980s, the American people need to know. \nThe Justice Department needs to stop pretending that Trump is just another politician. If there is evidence that the sitting president of the United States is working in Russia’s interests, he must be removed from office and prosecuted for espionage. \nAnd the American public? You have one last chance. This is not about Republican vs. Democrat. This is not about taxes, gas prices, or whatever nonsense outrage is dominating the news today. This is about whether the United States remains a sovereign nation, or if we spend the rest of the century as a Russian client state with a golf course. \nThe sheer volume of Trump's corruption, the blatant nature of his crimes, the mountain of evidence that should have ended his political career a hundred times over—none of it mattered. He survived it all, not because he was innocent, but because he drowned the country in so much scandal that nothing stuck. \nBut this time, it’s different. If Mussayev and Shvets are right, this isn’t just another chapter in the endless Trump circus. This is the culmination of a decades-long Russian intelligence operation to install an asset in the White House. \nThere is no coming back from this. If America lets Trump serve out this term without removing him, then the United States as a democratic republic is finished. The country won’t collapse overnight. There won’t be tanks in the streets. Instead, the destruction of democracy will happen in slow motion—buried under lawsuits, propaganda, and corruption so blatant that people stop caring. \nIf America lets this happen—if Trump is allowed to complete his mission—then Putin wins. The West crumbles. And the people who could have stopped it will look back, years from now, and wonder how they let it happen. \nGood night, and good luck. Because if people don’t wake up, America is going to sleepwalk straight into its own funeral.

Traveled Canada for a Year loved every second of it ❤❤ Canadians love to see you fight back ❤❤❤ stay strong

Watched the whole speech on Canadian news. This is what a real leader sounds like....an actual , intelligent adult.\nTrump has made it very clear he is working for Putin to destroy America in every way possible. Those who\nvoted for him, and still support him are absolute idiots.

Justin Trudeau is giving it to Trump with no chaser. He is standing up to this dictator and I love every word he said. You can't get any clearer than that!

Trump supports a dictator who lets children and babies die and wants to wipe out an entire country. He is opposing all of his allies for Putin. Putin will get money again. He is sacrificing parts of Ukraine and Putin has no need to fear punishment. Many countries were allies of the USA. We fully supported the USA after September 11th. People in the EU also died for you! I liked the USA very much, I spent my vacation there but I will not do that anymore, I will no longer buy American products. A dictator is being supported here and all our help to Ukraine for the past 3. years will be wasted! Trump will also restructure the USA so that he is the only king and no one controls him anymore. He want rich russians oligarch in the USA...That is how I think and feel... he s like Biff in back to the future when he owns all...From Germany! Thank You Canada❤.. \n\nI send love and recognition to every US American who did not vote for this president and who is for democracy and human rights. ❤️

Okay so it was totally fine for every other country to charge tariffs except America?

Agrees with him on everything except for fentanyl. \nAs a disabled person with a chronic illness I am 100% reliant on fentanyl which is more efficient than morphine with less side effects and I may as well kill myself now if they 'remove it from the face of the earth '. \nIt's not always used illegally but those of us who need it to survive and get by day to day are victimised every time a drug addiction uses this

Turn off the lights in America! It can be done….Canada provides electricity to most of northern America. Every crisis in America has been helped by Canadians. Canada sends linesmen down to help repair power lines after storms. Canada will always help us, don’t doubt it. Trump and Vance r complete idiots. If Trump and Vance are in power for much longer, I can see the devil rising because Trump and Vance are Demons. I’m a 60 year-old disabled woman and if I could I would fly to the Ukraine and help them because my country is doing nothing only upholding Putin!

Blistering? Lol. Okay! Nobody cares what this tool has to say. He's out at the end of this month! Canada will lose this battle every time. Good job CNN. You just made yourself look stupid again! You guys are good at that
