I am from Romania EU and i wish for a PM like Trudeau. I admire Canada and always thought Canada is a great country. Many of my friend's moved there and every time i speak to one of them always telling me how great the country is and how smooth the things are going when everybody gets to a common front

Here is another voice from Germany. Canada is a dream country in Europe. People like the Canadians, their independence and thoughtfulness. There are ideas that in this time of change we will find partners in Europe who represent our values ​​- welcome Canadians! - thx Mr. Trudeau for your strong words!

I am USA citizen! We stand with Canada! Please adopt me?. I’m truly saddened with what we are living now. I never thought in my lifetime. I will see my country regress in time it is hurtful.

Dear Mr. President Trump, would you please reconsider welcoming these wonderful fellow North Americans living in these TEN Canadian Provinces, not as the 51st State, but as TEN States, when being invited into the United States of America? These Canadian Provinces being Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Saskatchewan.\n\nSuggested is to make Canada’s existing 10 Provinces into 10 individual United States States. Canada will benefit with a strong 10 State influence within 60 United States governance affairs. Benefits are 10 more States on a balanced display welcomed as 10 white stars within the beautiful United States of America field of Blue of our Flag. Other countries will see North America’s Great Power when 60 glorious States, when combined, and working well together, communicating best when communicating with each other only in English, when English is the United States official National Language. No more Government waste of having multi language signage. Another geologically considered North American country, Greenland, with 4 more territories may wish to add four more States, as well as the many existing United States Territories across the globe may desire Statehood. The Sun will never set on the United States. As for 10 Canadian States, think of the  benefit of 20 mostly conservative thinking U.S. Senators which equals a larger majority of conservative votes in the larger U.S. Senate when composed of 120 Senatorial political leaders. 120 U.S. Senators keep the Filibuster procedure balanced. 10 Canadian Provinces converted into 10 United States States equals many more conservative House of Representatives votes enhancing the conservative majority of political leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives. So many good reasons why Canada’s 10 Provinces, with a mostly conservative thinking population of thinkers, should be transformed into 10 new United States States, not just one United States. Yes....10 more States that is the helpful way forward for the United States to have a very dominant conservative thinking population of United States Congress Political Leaders, resulting in a long term more stable United States Congress representing 60 United States, thinking more conservative, thinking more logical, thinking more common sense thoughts, thinking more capitalist job creation thoughts, thinking more tax cut thoughts, are just some of the benefits of having 60 United States of America States on  display, and functioning efficiently going forward for all the World’s Countries to marvel at.

I thought Trump said tariffs would be reciprocal, is he charging Canada more than they get charged by Canada?

Meanwhile he’s going to up the carbon tax the Canadian people are paying April 1st. Nobody is going to see these tariffs besides the Canadian government treasury. Even thought he’s trying to defend us he’s a donkey and most of Canada can’t stand him

I’m American and never thought our despicable president would be so low as to alienate our dear friends to the north! Shame on maga and Trump supporters that gave him this power god bless Canada and god please don’t forsake our country we are not our leader!

I thought governor Trudeau already resigned ?. Surprised to see him on screen again. He's more worried about the people of USA than Canada which is already in crisis. ?

All Governor Trudeau talking about a non-existent trade War these are just tariffs and in any way shape and form a war? Canada's military is so underfunded by Governor Trudeau Canada would almost certainly lose any conflict at ever thought with America or any tier one adversary, my suggestion Mr Trudeau you need to exit stage left and make room for somebody who has the courage to deal with the Tangerine bird

I hope Canada And Mexico doesn't back down. Fucking hate Trump. Lies after Lies and guess what people defend him. Not My president people say. You voted for a dictator that lies through his fucking teeth, hes not going to change. Yall really thought him getting shot was the wake up call? That was his call for him being able to do no wrong, then they say oh you'd rather have Kamala? yes..... Yes I would..... look at our country idiots.... Not saying she would've been much better, but her team at least had common sense, trumps is a bunch of Rich sore losers who cant do nothing wrong.

We in the EU should stand by Canada and offer whatever support is necessary, including financial grants if needed. We should also match Canada by imposing our own 25% tariffs on the same goods and services, acting as a force multiplier. If the ‘Mango Mussolini’ refuses to listen to reason, he must feel the consequences of these actions. Hang in there, Canada! You are an incredible tough people and while your country is mentally prepared for this trade war, the US have not given it a single thought… they will be surprised and the madman will fold

Europe stands with Canada, we are all astonished by learning that the ones whom we thought to be our biggest friends have betrayed us and made friends with a russian dictator. We will never forget this nor forgive this betrayal.... it will be written in history books.

Anyone who ever was a victim of bullying understands exactly what is going on and how it will end for those who wants to appease/bend to the bully. Yes, it will be painful for Canada, extremely. But you have to get really sick in order to recover stronger than ever before. Zelensky knew the inner workings of how bullies work so he probably knew the white house meeting won't end cordially especially it is occupied by people he has no love for and he understood the lack of love was mutual. I think he'd bent over and wagged his tail if he thought that'd help his nation but knowing that will not get his country anywhere anyways, why would he bend over and try to please someone who was determined to screw him and his country to begin with. Zelensky saw how Canadian prime minister was treated and how he tried to please Mr. T yet to no avail. Yes, Zelensky has no real good, readily available cards to play. If the game is rigged, no reason to play by your rule, is there?

Even though I'm Albertan and I always thought Trudeau hated us I support him standing up for Canada

Wow, an intelligent, thought out speech that you can understand. No name-calling, no hyperbole, no making it about himself. It's like Canada has a grown-up for a president.

I am SO sorry Canada, but proud of you for standing up to these tyrants. I am a UK citizen residing in the USA, and, was impacted by the USAID terminations, which saddens me to witness such a powerful apparatus for global stability in health and security to be destroyed. Decades of alliance through NATO, this is just sickening to witness in this day and age. Who would have thought! Shame on this spineless administration, that will go down in history as the worst ever. Traitors they are ALL of them.

USA here. Hang in there canada. Many USA citizens are on your side. Have always thought alot of you.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune reacted to the imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China by saying “nothing happens in a vacuum” and he expects there will be “reactions” to President Donald Trump’s move. \n \nMeanwhile, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso refused to answer on whether he thought the tariffs would hurt American consumers. He said people should not be surprised by Trump’s decisions because he ran on them.

A thought experiment:\nImagine that the Canadian government was given a magic technology that could build five million new homes overnight and assign them by lottery to people who didn't currently own a home.\nWould the government push the button to build the homes and give them to people who needed a home?\nNope. It would not.\nWhy?\nBecause the price of existing houses and apartments in Canada would drop by at least 50% overnight. And in our new, insane, everything-is-financialized, asset-prices-are-the-most-important-thing world, that would be deemed unacceptable.\nJust chew on that for a moment: we have a society, an economy, a governing and property owning class, that would prefer to forego the incredible quality of life increases for the population of magicking 5 million homes into existence, than to lose the valuations of a resource that is so scarce that demand grossly outstrips supply.\nWe live in a world of utter madness.

Who thought treating real estate an investment asset wouldn't lead to any problems at all?\nAs an Alberta, canada's economic decline is absolutely disheartening and sad.\nI wish for annexation by the US.\n-Proud Albertan, reluctant canadian.

I thought lot of people said they hate America? Why they want to go so bad? Apparently they prefer US more Canada.

Why do people want to leave Canada and enter the US illegally? I thought it was all so much better for them in Canada?

I thought Canada was a sanctuary country?

I couldn't agree more I thought I was in Canada lol...this is it because of all the immigrant that got 1000000 placed in nav Canada Cornwall Ontario. Hour dump is already full and they have to drive 40 minutes to bring them somewhere else. Everywhere you look they is one of them. If you also look at the police blog, we'll most of the time it's them so not feeling very safe anymore. I want my country back it is mine to live in and safely so sad

I thought Canada was the country of love?

I thought Canada was going to crack down on this.

What can Canada do? They are sooo overrun by the illegals themselves. And, why Indians,? I thought India is an up-and-coming super power ?

I thought Canada was different. Now are they another Mexico with no laws of immigration or Visa's

I thought no immgrants came from Canada?

I thought Canada's borders were secured?

Didnt people in 2016 say if trump was elected they would move to canada.. 9years later he have people coming from canada as immigrants? I thought the immigration problem only existed from yhe south and the middle east.... Almost like the human condition isnt when it comes to ones personal views, but the majority over all. Im sorry but once youve seen the actual picture, its hard to focus on individual elements \n\nOhh btw, \n\nDont delet my comment YouTube

How. How? Last time i went to the Canadian border, they check passports coming in. Is no one on our side checking them coming the other way? Doesn't canada check passports etc when you FLY IN to canada? Thought i heard they wouldn't let you enter canada without the covid vax... ? but if you're on the watch list you can still enter?

So wait, do we have to keep these people now?? 500 or so out of 600 or so terrorists came from the northern border? Wait, I thought it wasn’t a problem in Canada? ?? I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re now allowed to stay in Canada. Enough is enough. Thank god for president Trump, who managed to do something about OUR border crisis from the US, because our lame duck government couldn’t care less. We could only be so lucky to have leadership like him. Pollievre better step up.

WOW I THOUGHT CANADA WAS HELPING WHAT A LIE WOW

I thought Migrants love going to Canada for their benefits?

I thought Canada was the BEST? Why leave?

Why is it that illegals who make it to Canada, want to still come to America? I thought Canada gave those people great benefits as well.

I thought Canada was suppose to keep them out....

Thought Canada was Stopping all these iLLEGALS -- Let Canada deal with them...

Invasion:\nthe entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists. infringement by intrusion. invasion\n\nI thought Canada was going to secure their border against this kind of invasion into the USA?\n\nClose the Northern Border. Ban ALL asylum claims.\nNearly ALL asylum claims are bogus.

I thought the migrants going through Canada was a stupid lie. Looks like I was wrong.

I find that hard to believe. I went to Niagara Falls going into Canada with no problem coming out of Canada was ridiculous. There was some border guard there, he thought he was special forces, the way he was dressed. It was ridiculous.

That's weird, I thought they said there weren't anyone crossing from Canada. You're telling me they would lie?

Ohh look they got turned away at the Southern Border and then thought that woman Justine T. in Canada would help them ? TRUMP is not playing anymore and I'm 100% behind it finally it feels like The American vote is counting.

With Trump running this country why would anyone want to even come here? I thought Canada was doing better at their borders as people I know going through their get such hassles. Weird. I only agree with one thing with this president not letting anyone here illegally, getting rid of the gangs and criminals and holding them accountable for their crimes.

I thought Canada said our illegals in the USA weren’t coming through our northern borders

FAFO....Time to hit Canada with BIG tariffs. They thought Trump was kidding, apparently.?????????

I thought canada was better than america because they have free health care? They immigrated to a safe country, canada. They can't seek Asylum in america because they were in canada first

I thought canada was supposed to be patrolling their border

I thought Trump delayed Canada's tariffs so they would strengthen their side of the border?
