What is the purpose of showing PM Trudeau in his press conference if we can't hear him? These CNN commentators are paraphrasing endlessly what he said, while cutting off his voice. Are we so dumb that we have to be served a rehash while being deprived of the real thing? \n Maybe CNN is trying to explain things to MAGA voters; why the effort? They would'nt watch CNN anyway!

I hate that you are leaving. You show what true leadership is.

The data & facts show Trump doesn’t care is factual. As a Canadian I want Canada to move on away from USA. There’s a big world out there

Well said, Mr. Prime Minister. Go Canada--hopefully see you on the other side of this, when we get rid of this clown show. Pardon our dust...some of our slower citizens have to learn things the hard way.

Lmaoo you big mad or little mad? ??? we ain’t scared of Canada or the UK y’all just scared because we showing we run this MF and if we’re friends with Russia ain’t shit you little turds can do but bend that knee boy

He is wooing russia , trying to keep his poll promise , show to the world that he means business. America is not into charity or goodwill , thats clear.. lesson for other countries how to deal america. Deal them as competitors, businessmen not as ur family or friend

The difference in comments between CNN viewers & ACTUAL news outlets is incredible. All of the TDS patients gather here because they know CNN will tell them what they want to hear. You’re all deluded & you don’t even know it. Incredible. Have prices increased? Can you provide evidence to show these price increases? Maybe you people should move to a different country. If you like Canada so much they got plenty of space. Trump is the president. Get over it. You people are genuinely pathetic

trump wants your country , putin has promised it to be him and showed him how to gin up the fevour for an eventual invasion of your country. The fent is is an obvious ruse. Who knows what the next lie will be.

Biden voters showing hate to Trump ?

I’m not a fan of Trudeau over his stance with the truckers during Covid, but on this he is showing Trump up for the poor idiotic leader he is

FRUMP AND FELON the gong show morons!

The fact Trump keeps referring to Trudeau as Governor already shows Trumps disregard for Canada…imagine call Trump Governor Trump???!!!

When speaking to the most powerful democracy in the world you have to show respect. The USA ?? is the super power of the world. Thank you USA?? for your leadership and wisdom. The USA ?? is the only country on this planet that can achieve and garentie peace. Thank you for your hard work and deep compassion for humanity. ❤

Trump is being blackmailed by Putin with the pee pee tapes just look at the flight log dates and times when he returned to the United States and you’ll see the difference Trumps arrogance is more important than the American safety and security ??? go Canada I love you guys and stay strong my friends we will make it through this shit show ???

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

Yes Canada show your dignity, say no to bully. The world can see what is righteousness. People often forget they only live for a brief moment, all these bullies will be recorded in history and their bad name stuck forever.

The US is showing the world it is now an unreliable, untrustworthy partner. Canada will suffer these tariffs imposed arbitrarily by Pres.Trump, but Canada will always be a reliable and trustworthy partner. I think the real reason Pres Trump is trying to subjugate Canada is he doesn't want the constant reminder what a true friend and trustworthy partner looks like. He is embarrassed by the comparison.

Trump showing himself to be an unreliable partner in trade and in war.

Hahaha we want to be friends you know like the ones who never have their wallet. The kind of friends that screw over their own people with laws and rules that the supreme leaders decide is “hate”. \nBoy he sure doesn’t want to talk about the dollar amount huh? We want free military and free money now!!!! Stomp stomp stomp give me my money daddy Trump. All you have to do is make a little effort on your end there Justin. All we are doing is reciprocating the kindness you show us. Your military members support you? \n\nPut it to a vote if you will not censor them I think you might get a sense of how out of touch you are with your own country. \n\nWe love Canadians we dislike the leadership and the smashing laws that take it out on the common citizen that don’t live in a drug riddled city. You know the majority of your citizens?

It just shows how some people in our country truly are. So this is what make America great again means huh? We were the land of the free & opportunity! That S#$! Is done now. Thank Trump & your cronies!! We are now the enemy to the whole WORLD!! THIS IS WHO YALL VOTED FOR!!?? REALLY!!? SMH??

That just shows you it was NEVER about the fentanyl. That was just a weak excuse for trump to institute tariffs smh.

As much as I hate the idea of Americans suffering at the hands of Trump, I think PM Trudeau should cut Niagara power to the American side! Trump wants to play games, then Canada should stop the flow of everything coming into the U.S. just to show DJT how tariffs really work!

America elected a MF FOOL to office and I blame the morons that complained about the price of gas and eggs! America elected a MF felon, a fraud and a racist to office for the purpose of some low class group of people to feel empowered. What a shit show America has become! Fuck all of you all that complained about Biden, now look at the new Russia!

I bet mike pence is so glad hes not part of the shit show anymore.

The state of the world right now reminds me of my parking lot at work.....just an absolute shit show

WTF is happening in the world right now. With Starmer Dictating to its own citizens, trying to freeze its pensioners and starve them to death, to have hundreds of thousands homeless british people whilst giving free healthcare, homes, iphones, bags of cash etc to 1 million muslims, mostly illegals, geandmothers thrown in jail for a comment on social media, war veterans taken to court for social media posts which was not showing hatred but basicalky stating the obvious.. now Trump losing the plot altogether. Revigorating putins dictatorship, WTF is happening?

Canada, we are so sorry and ashamed. We are proud of you for standing up to us and showing us what real friendship looks like. We are working to get better, but it may take awhile.

Imagine ya complementing a man which the majority of Canada hate and who has a 37% approval rating and who is getting replaced, just goes to show democrats are delusional as hell ?

Cut power at 9:00 for the skunk show lmao

This was never about the drugs for tRump. It's a show and a gift for Putin.

tariffs are the side show of bigger plans, u.s. wants canada and greenland for their resources, china will be allowed to take taiwan and japan, russia is being allowed to take a chunk of europe

Why bother showing? Baby Trudeau is unpopular and out by end of month!! ?

Long live Canada. The USA will soon be out of NATO and have no back up from any NATO country, when China, Russia, Iran and North Korea use the Trump and Vance comedy show to take over and rule the New World.

Let's be honest, it took a US President for Canadian Prime Minister to act tough on drugs and illegal immigration. Things he should have been doing in the first place without any international pressure. It shows the absolute disrespect he has for Canadian citizens demanding the same.

Its the wrong time for Justin to step down. You just showed strength, compassion, honesty, honour and fierceness. All leaders on the right side of history needs to stand up and fight back.

Dual citizen in Canada I could not be more ashamed at the US tantrum showing man Vs The real adult Trudeau in the room. \nWe thank you for your address today and telling Donny we are not standing on the playground and taking the mean actions anymore.

Trudeau, kamala Harris, and Zelensky all were in acting business. They put on quite a show.

Go Canada Go. Poor to all Americian have Trump running the show. And watch out you (Americian) might go broke and even like the other 8900+ lost their job.

whats treudo doing ? jumping on the clown bandwagon show some respect didnt you get voted out ? Trumps talking to putin to make peace.

U.S. here....first, I and most Americans stand with Canada and Ukraine. Second, yes tRUMP made a dumb mistake. But everyone must realize that he really isn't very smart. His own cabinet members from his first term have said so. He doesn't understand things and he doesn't read. I feel pretty sure that his daddy paid for him to get into business school and paid for his degree, just as he paid a doctor to say he had bone spurs. He just isn't very bright. I think his business failings show the same thing. Whatever Canada and Mexico feel they have to do to stand up to this dictator wanna-be, so be it. I hope the MAGAt supporters here get a hard wake up call....I can't have sympathy for them.

Trudeau directly addressed Trump in his blistering speech, delivering a strong message. This shows that tensions between the two leaders remain high

Go Canada! ??. What an amazing, beautiful, proud country you are! ? show “Donald ?” that you mean business ?.

Wow a leader that actually can speak the language as an adult with intelligence. Trump sounds so dumb compared. It’s up to the American people to show their government that they are on the wrong path. Do it now… we support Americans not their government. Go Canada.

Vance today referred to the British army as a random inexperienced force. The disrespect the US is showing to the world is shameful. \nWe stand with Canada.

Why can't CA counter-attack with 27% TARIFFS instead of match the 25% set by Trump? Show more strength CANADA! WE sound very scattered trying to match up to this fight. Since this economic attack was sudden and uncalled for WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS COUNTER ATTACK! NOT WEATHER THE STORM. Protect Canadian Pride Mr. Prime Minister. CA has been globally humiliated already. MUST BRING BACK & RAMP UP CANADIAN Manufacturing. RELAX some of the enviorenmental laws temporally. RAMP UP FORCES RECRUITMENT. Strengthen Asian relationships to boost our manufacturing. MAN UP CANADA.. True North Strong!!

???????…. When Biden does it yall are ok with it… let’s be crystal clear… you haven’t done shit for show or help.

Us Aussies stand with Canada Mexico and anyone else the ??? show is going after.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

Americans should be begging for this president to be their president instead of the Punch and Judy show you have in the whitehouse

Thank you all for standing with us im a proud albertin but to see you all come to stand with us hart touching we don't want this we thank you and love you for it we got this Canada let's show this world how strong we really are!
