So proud of Justin Trudeau today. He is a decent man and leader, speaking the truth. I wish for the American people the same, a good leader to come, someone new. What is happening right now in the States is horrible and dangerous. No words.

Wow, you jerks voted for this! Where are those cheaper eggs and gas? Oh yeah and neutralizing less than 1 percent of our population, yes trans people.\nLike I said, you idiots voted for this! \nWe warned you MAGA folks for 9 years! 9 years.\nHope this is giving some white MAGA man a hard on!

for people from outside Canada that is praising this speech.., This is the first time he has spoken with some rationale thinking. You also don't know how he has supported the drug problem. In this speech he is doing an about face - it is pathetic to listen to this. He should have been doing this the last 4 years instead of driving this country into the ground. Of yeah, and he has parliament shutdown as we go through these external threats. Hold your praise, this is temporary.

True leader who cares about his PEOPLE‼️?

Once the American people see what Trump is doing to their country they will want him out. Canada should add another one percent per month to the tariffs until the Ameican stock market bombs.

Let’s get this clear - This is not about hurting Canada with Tariff. This is all part of Trump’s plan to create panic, confusion and frustration to the American people to make us weak so he can sell us to PUTIN. The tariff to Canada, Mexico and China; his immigration racist decisions to target Latinos; the way he and Vance attacked to president Zaleski and firing federal employes is just ALL Part of a plan to create confusion, so while we scratch our head, he allied with PUTIN.

US VOTER: “Uhhh, so you do this fella Trudeau is near the end of his term as Canada’s PM? I mean, if you all are done with him and all we could certainly use a guy like him in our executive branch “ ?? ??. \n BTW, I love Canadians. Hell, “ some of my best friends are Canadian.” None In the family of course-what would people say? But you know. This guy Trump is quite the hoser. How about you open up your borders just a pinch to let us sane Americans over? We don’t eat much and we’ll even pay for any medical expenses! Really we will. We’re use to it. How’s about like starting up an H1VFK visa. Yeah, you know-the Hey, I Voted For Kamala visa. Well, just think on it. You guys were there for us during Nam. You can do the human thing again. Cheers ?

No weaving shit into the zone or some other flood of logorhoea... this is how people with a brain talk

Trump loves drama this is all on him. We the people love Canadians thank you .❤❤❤❤❤

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

You all are having a cock fight while the people will suffer with the spike of prices. Guess I’m going on a fucking ramen diet. ?

I respect you so much for this, Mr. Trudeau and I do not blame you. I wish the people could do something, but the people have spoken and no one listens. We are just trapped here. I feel powerless to do anything. I can’t afford to fight in oligarch I have to survive this country and work my ass off just to live paycheck to paycheck. I haven’t got time for this shit. I guess I’m gonna have to quit my job and become a full-time political activist! That’s not realistic I have children. I have an autistic grandchild who is also blind that I’m raising I ain’t got time for this shit but you gotta do what you gotta do. It’s time for a revolution.

It's not the U.S. government that's doing this, Prime Minister Trudeau, but rather President Trump and his cronies. This tariff war wasn't voted on by Congress or the American people.

Trudeau is finally listening to his people? Why wait until you've resigned to become the man we needed for the last 9 years!?

You're reasonable? Don't place your opinion on all Canadians. They don't agree with your leftist actions. If you were reasonable you wouldn't be placing tariffs on all American products exported to Canada. Now, reciprocal tariffs are fair. Why don't you tell your people the TRUTH

I would like to say this, Canada we do understand. I thank GOD I seen the evil in Trump and his buddies. It's call spiritual discernment. You people that believe in Christ, you better put your trust in the good LORD.

It will hurt our people differently!!

Ukraine has been known to the NOS since 2016 as one of the largest mafia countries and Natzi events and Hitler symbols and if you are not in favor of that you will be shot in your own country striving for 1 race over people whole documentary about Ukraine are also just Russians who lived there and have been plagued for years with bio labs on people and the development of human trafficking and drugs androgrome but apparently you don't care about that

Stupidity kills more people than fentanyl. Can we get Trudeau to be our president. How to fire Trump?

People have been dogging on Trudeau till he will finally be out of office and we will be starting new with someone who doesn't have the same experience. How did that work for you?

Donald Trump is a FooLLLLLLLLL! And MAGA people voted for him!!!!

Full support to Trump administration ??\nClown Trudeau ? from a terrorist country called Canada.. his father was also a terrorist maker.\nAnd leftist media and people celebrate this clown as a hero ??

EXCELLENT.! Honorable Prime Minister Trudeau.! The American PEOPLE! Thank You.!!!

During the Second World War Canada punched way above its weight in supporting it Allies and defeating Hitler and the scourge of fascism. It’s not a country or a people I’d want to take on lightly but as Prime Minister Trudeau highlights this is going to hurt US citizens as much as Canadian.

Remind me again why Trudeau was forced to resign? Even NY Times investigative journalists recently explained how NAFTA worked against US interests and killed so much of our industry decades ago; almost the opposite of what was intended. Trade needs to be reformed across the board. It's also insulting the way other world leaders are now speaking directly to the American Public and lying to them as if they have our best interest in mind. World leaders are elected to defend the interests of their own people, many times they just look out for their own personal interest, but they are definitely not looking out for American interest. It is up to us. The world stage is a complicated transaction of this for that. That's life. Have you all forgot playing United Nations in high school? Trade needs to be renegotiated from significantly benefiting every other country but USA. Trump is trying to do that.

No offense to the Canadian people, but this guy is a puppet of the WEF and a dictator to his people.

Canada has done nothing but put out propaganda. Canada is a Liberal country that interferes with our elections. Now if I want to know how to adjust my fake eyebrows or how to talk tough while having a small population and only one neighbor that happens to be an ally and the world's super power then I'll ask Trudeau and the Canadians for their input. In the meantime, their people don't work and the Canadians depend on us for their rights to the sea since they don't spend much on defense. America will win. Canada won't exist without America.

It’s not about fentanyl. It’s not about the two or three people that across their borders. It’s all about his crazy idea that Canada should be the 51st state. And in his warped mind, he thinks by doing this, he’s going to ruin Canada, and that they’re gonna come begging on their hands and knees to be accepted into the United States and I am dead serious. This is what his goal is, and this is what he thinks he’s going to accomplish.

I'm American and I sincerely apologize to the Canadian government and people for the actions of the Kremlin stooges currently in the White House. 100% support for you!

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

Governor Trudeau is talking tough in the final days of his failed regime. Let's not forget governor that you pee'd your pants in front the Canadian people on the world stage in the face of President Trump and then followed up resigning!

Blistering speech LMFA I'm Australian don't even have a horse in the race , but these limp wristed forever warmongers don't not deliver Blistering anything except death and enriching themselves....wake up people

Canada, buy Greenland! Trump doesn’t understand nice people.

Great speech. However Fentanyl must not “be wiped from the face of the Earth”. This opioid is needed to control pain in the dying and patients living with severe chronic pain. Stop the illicit market. Do not deprive people who depend on this effective analgesic.

Where are the people who voted him? Let me guess, hiding underneath a rock. Must be so embarrassed for voting for that clown. Trump is all about freedom of speech. Stand up and protest this fool. He will sell out the American people to Putin. As a Canadian thank you world for all the support. We all have a duty to fight evil. Donald is the devil in sheeps clothing.

As an American I speak for many that we did not want this for our countries and I condemn our President for being just a bully and a fool. Its so nice hear a leader speak with intelligence and compassion. Mr. Trudeau and the people of Canada I stand with you

Many ordinary people on both sides of the border may be crying. That is because of one man, a businessman-politician.

Go Canada, let him have it. Know that most Americans don’t support his actions. More than half of us DID NOT vote for him, and those that did likely had no idea what tariffs were or certainly didn’t understand how they work. Though I didn’t vote for him, I am so embarrassed and I am so sorry to the entire world for the horrible decision so many people in my country have made.

Putin advise Donald Trump to disassociate ourselves with all of our allies and to break down our defenses so he can then come in and start a war with the United States of America then we would have no allies that we can count on because of all the enemies that Donald Trump has made in once Putin can take over the United States of America and start bombing us then we are f***** and we will learn how it feels to be bombed and lose many of our people here in the United States just like Ukraine is going through right now and other countries that are fighting for their freedom and their people! Y'all have to understand this s*** is bigger than tears and Donald Trump is too f****** dumb to understand and to see what Elon musk, putin, Kim Jong-un all are plotting against his dumbass to hurt the United States of america, to hurt his own people, Donald Trump do not give a f*** about the United States of america, let's be clear or his people, and he damn sure does not give a damn about the Constitution of the United States of America

America can keep their goods.\n Trump has created all this and the rest of the world should wash their hands of Trump's deals.\n\nThe American people should be going crazy because of the power they have given Trump.\n\nCrazy times

Why the fuck would people vote him out…

We know Canada, we know world. There are just millions of stupid people in the US and I don't see that changing, unfortunately.

It's not about immigration or fentanyl. This is about following direction from putin. He has divided the people within our country and now separated us from our allies. He has removed trusted anerican press from the white house briefings replacing them with the government run russian media. We are the united states of russia. Get your vodka here

Why Are People acting SURPRISED DONALD TRUMP IS A CONVICTED FELON WHO HAS PARTNERED AND ESTABLISHED AN ALLIANCE WITH ANOTHER CRIMINA???

Here's the view from over in Scotland. It seems that people who cast their vote for Trump are going to have to learn the hard way. Canada is not going to be Trump's Ukraine.

I am so ashamed that our tyrant in chief has done this to the people of a country I love to visit. Stand strong Canada. Please call a lie a lie.

Canadian here. Thank you, people from all over the world, for your support. And thank you Americans, our neighbours, the ones who understand this... Madness... Thank you.

Im impressed MAGA. I didnt think people as stupid as you could exist, then you voted to have your money stolen and given to billionaires and create mass unemployment around the country. Keep up the good work!

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.
