In Canada asked this man to resign? He's the best representative of that country my friends from Canada you should reconsider letting this man go is way more articulate than our moron in Chief our orange headed prize

The moment Pres. Trump threatened Canada with the tariff trade war months ago, I was shocked. How come your closest ally, a friend, your closest neighbor, shared the longest border in the world, fought side by side in ww1, ww2, middleast conflicts etc., and now the relationship starts to deteriorate because of one man's arrogance.

I support Canada!!!\nYou must be proud of your Prime Minister a very fine man.

I see why Canada dislikes this man.

No one is asking, what are the tariffs for... I obviously you see all of these people in the comments just walking and basing their judgment off of what they are seeing off of CNN etc. do your own research people, this man is bananas... I would assume most people in Canada are not very happy with this man crippling their country

Canada puts high tariffs on our goods, but girlie-man gets mad when Trump puts a couple of tariffs on them. He forgets that the U.S. military defends Canada...Is that supposed to be free? Trying to talk tough doesn't work for girlie-man, because he's just not. He needs to just suck it up and kiss Trump's ring.

THIS man is the reason that Canada will be trembling at the feet of the almighty Donald

Canada not the only country is mad, angry, disgusted by Donald Trump when the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said you're a smart man this is a dumb thing to do , Check out his face he's saying to Donald Trump you're not a smart man and you're dumb man . Bravo Trudeau as an American well said I stand with you and a large number of people in America stand with Canada.................................................

Oh no what are we gonna do? Canada and their laughing stock leader are angry that our president is flexing and not thinking twice about the repercussions. There is absolutely nothing you can do to us that we can't do back 100 times worse. Someone get Trudeau some tissue please. He looks like he's about to cry. Girly Man.

I am annoyed with CNN for turning this into a WAFFLE Soapy...At Last Trudeau has grown BALLS and he was presenting a Polite, Rational, Understandable, Logical, Factual explanation NOT only to AMERICA BUT more so to Canada and the World that Trump is NOT actually a SMART man but rather a deranged and dangerous illiterate with NO interest other than HIS EGO...SO CNN in your wisdom you ignored Trudeau's replies to questions from the press and gave oxygen to your WAFFLE MONGERS LIGHT WEIGHT comments.\n I have never been a supporter of wishy washy Trudeau....until this polite and measured presentation by him which was brilliant as an Educational tool not only for the American People BUT also for ALL of those ALLIES in the FREE World that TRUMP has absolutely NO RESPECT for and has been singularly responsible for the FREE World ALLIES to seriously rethink their allegiances with Chaotic America due to Donald's apparently Love affair with Putin as a fellow Dictator.\n America listen up.... The U.K./Europe are cranking up their home based on their door step DEFENSE INDUSTRIES etc which will be GREAT for Europe.... BUT not so GREAT for America''s employment going SOUTH.\n I was born in 1936 in the U.K. and have first hand experience of the TORTURE Ukraine is experiencing as the RESULT of Putin INVADING Ukraine....Donald and his Attack dog Vance are dangerous illiterates.

I hope Justin Trudeau comes back as leader of the Liberals in Canada. Of course he has to do some reflection as to where he might have gone wrong, and to learn from his mistakes. Perhaps learn how to make better decisions in the interest of Canadians. It's brilliant the way Trudeau is handling these crises for his country created by none other than thug, convicted felon/rapist/liar/insurrectionist Drumpf. Justin Trudeau is an educated man who speaks two languages fluently. Drumpf on the other hand is poorly educated and can hardly speak one language which is supposedly to be English. Drumpf can only yell, lie, slander and insult. What an oaf

Says the man who allows fentanyl to flow into Canada and poison its citizens. Ask yourself Trudeau why there is a trade war with your closest ally and why you support Neo Nazi stronghold's in Ukraine?

America here, do what you have to do, Canada. These MAGA folks who back a convicted rapist should just go elsewhere. They’re ruining everything so orange man can enrich himself

HOW is TRUDEAU still in power .This man has destroyed Canada .

Canada, the American people don't want this and a lot of Trump supporters didn't want this either. I'm sorry that y'all too have to suffer and deal with a man that doesn't lead your country. Believe me I would swap with y'all tomorrow. \n\nIt's amazing how Canada came up with how many billions for border patrol but we can't get Congress to pass a bill. President Biden tried to get a bill through Congress within his first 100 days and they wouldn't pass it then either. We have scanners sitting at the Mexican Border that will detect Fentanyl but Congress would approve using them either. Everyone needs to find out how their Representative voted on that bill and make sure they are not in office next time. \n\nI don't know how this man got elected but I feel like Musk and Starlink helped him win. I just heard that Starlink is what was used to send the results in the swing states. Musk told someone an hour before polls closed that Trump was the winner, with his evil laugh and let's not forget Trump telling his supporters that they didn't need to vote cause he will win without them. That's fishy. \n\n\nY'all what do we do if he won't leave office? What do we do then? I know he just got in the White House but it's never too early to have a plan to get him out. They worked on Project 2025 for 4 years and now it's all falling into place. OMG! What are we going to do?

This man is a bigger threat to Canada than anyone. Also, we don't care about your tariffs. You had a chance to change your unfair tariffs and be more reasonable, and you blew it. That's all you had to do. But instead, you cry and whine.

If your most stable genius noticed that this very eloquent man referred to very. simple. speech. and. short. main. sentences. when addressing him? Yes, you can insult people without throwing stupid names at them. Very fitting. The orange messiah deserves every malice he can possibly get. And more, because this whole trade war will affect especially poor and medium income US consumers. CANADA will help Canadian citizens affected from the tariffs. Guess what DT´s administration will do for US citizens. Exactly.

This moral high ground you’re giving this man is a little hypocritical considering his government seized bank accounts of people who protested. \n\nAs an American I owe Canada nothing, and I certainly don’t prioritize Ukraine in my day to day struggle. And it’s highly offensive to me that these assholes feel entitled to my tax dollars.

A man who stands for his people and can still speak well and correctly. Greetings from the Netherlands. Europe hopes to be able to work together with Canada.

I stand with Canada. Trump is a naughty man????

small man TRUMP lasts 4 years. CANADA, NATO, UKRAINE, UK, ALL GLOBAL DEMOCRACIES WILL ENDURE LONG, LONG AFTER TRUMP.

Why doesn’t Trump instead of using his words\nStand up as a man against Trudeau whoever wins\nGets\nAll the money. Then for sure canada\nWill be the victor. Then Trudeau can do the same with Putin where he would win again. If these leaders want to fight then do it as warrirors

Trump doesn't want to work with Canada, he's working with Russia. And Trump is not a very smart man, he's a spoiled rich brat!

Trump is a mentally deranged idiot he is not friends with anyone but other dictators cuz that's what he wants to be he has said it and people have heard it yet the dumb people of the United States think oh the orange man in office is great.\nHey Canada you got the room for a family at 7:00 with three dogs and some cats because I will gladly become a Canadian citizen I am ashamed to be an American right now and I do not agree with what Trump is doing and yeah help

It is sad that one man can drive such a deep wedge between two countries. Herr Trump has proven himself to be completely untrustworthy to all American allies, not just Canada. The pain he insists on inflicting on American allies will not soon be forgotten. Hopefully American voters who suffer from unnecessary high inflation and job loses will not forget either. Buckle up for a bumpy ride.

This man is no hero. I live in Canada, which under Trudeau’s leadership has become a worse country since he became Prime Minister. It has nothing to do with Trump. It has been going in this direction for years.

I wish this man was the American president. My American government is scaring me and our lives are falling apart. I stand with Canada and the rest of the sane world. I hope this changes soon..

Jealous how Canada has such an intelligent man compared to the clowns we have, they need to be impeached for real!!

Trudeau is the man!!,we could only dream of having a leader like him.Reminds me that Canada is just a better version of the United States,they're better than us and much better off than we are....I mean they don't have a bunch of rich,disguisting pigs running the country or a fat orange wannabe dictator who is full of himself....Everything Trudeau had to say here couldn't be more right....

I stand with you Canada That orange man is so far up in Putins azz

Why is this dude still representing Canada? \n\nTwo months ago many of his key cabinets members resigned because Justin’s policies are destroying Canadians. Rightfully, he resigned. Dude needs to go away. Stop making Canada worse than what it has become under his horrendous leadership.\n\nThings happening:\n\nThe massive influx of foreigners, both legally and illegally into Canada.\n\nAffordable housing for native Canadians do not exist, people are leaving the country.\n\nHi mortgage payment or monthly rent are too high.\n\nFood prices are not coming down.\n\nSalaries are not keeping up with inflation.\n\nThe Canadian dollar keeps tanking.\n\nAs the leader of the country, he’s doing nothing to stop increasing violent crime.\n\nIncreasing amount of drugs in cities and suburbs.\n\nFinally, he’s pledging billions of dollars to Ukraine, when that money is needed at home.\n\nJustin is too emotional to deal with Trump.\n\nTrump complains about the trading balance between the two nations, $100 billion in favor of Canada.\n\nThe request is simple, import more American products, or export less products to America. But the imbalance has to stop.\n\nSame with Mexico, trading balance with Mexico is almost $200 billion in favor of Mexico. The imbalance has to stop. \n\nThe US economy is bleeding by trading with allies and partners, it’s fighting for its financial wellbeing. It is not some bs from the orange man, it is real.\n\nOf course Canada, Mexico, Europe and others want business as usual… and why wouldn’t they? ?

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

And canada cant win a trade war just like it couldn’t win a covid war ? More damage orange man bad again

Not a fan of Trudeau but Trump. Canada should be proud to have this man who have balls to stand up against lunatic Trump and Vance.

I’m an Indigenous American here, I say if Canada was really our friend then they would understand that they have been taking advantage of our countries kindness for too long and it’s time they step up.. If us trying to do something good for our own country for one time instead of everybody else and it’s a problem like this then maybe we weren’t friends anyway.. That means u were only friendly bc u were taking advantage.. \nPlenty of other countries has decided to pick up their own slack and it’s time Canada and America and the other countries start focusing more on their own citizens.. \nThis man is ready to send Canadian soldiers to die in Ukraine right now for something that has nothing to do with them and now instead of negotiating an agreement it’s all about relation and hurting your own people to get back at others over something you took personally..\nI always liked Trudeau but if that’s how he feels about our country then that’s how we feel about his.. \nwe don’t care about Canada anymore except justing Bieber and Linus media group.. everyone else can go lol..

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

I live in America and I can tell you that I did not vote for the orange Oompa Loompa! Trump is a liar, a thief, a felon, a con man, a narcissist, a dictator wannabe, a traitor to the US, an insurrectionist, a sore loser, asexual, predator, and a POS! Please go after trump! I stand with Canada, Mexico and the rest of our allies! Nobody should ever trust anything out of that moron’s mouth! A narcissist will always do the opposite of what you tell them to do

We the people sadly feel powerless against this fascist because the elected representatives are bowing down to kiss the ring of this hateful man. Stay strong Canada.

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 ?

Trump’s a Moron! What a pathetic man he is! I’m with Canada! ??❤️??

I wouldn't expect less from Canada,, We have been getting all the Good News from Canada... Some things are getting Out of Hand from President Trump, and He is Speaking from the Responsability of a Man Protecting his Citizens and Economy.

See this is where he is wrong. Now that trumps in office. Now we will be fracking, milling, and mining. So what do we really need from Canada. That’s right the American companies that deserted the USA to come home. Canada is always crying man up bro.

Why are you giving this lying piece of shit of a prime minister any airtime whatsoever I agree with the fact that Trump is going a little overboard with the tariffs but to listen to this guy nobody in Canada wants to even see this man's face so by you even putting it on there just basically makes your station that less credible

Lmao , every Trump supporter in these comments is so delusional and unaware that they don’t see they are all making the same\nold regurgitated idiotic comment. “ why don’t you move to Canada “. Oh man it is so very damn clear why Trump got in because I have yet to see any MAGA supporter step up with a facts based intelligent response. It’s ???‍♂️

This man is not stupid he’s playing The people acting as if he’s tough and trump is inlove with Russia cause that’s all they have to stand on . And if Canada keeps on you will lose this trade war, we are 70% of your GDP !!

Statement from the man who took Canadians bank accounts and rights during covid 19. Does anybody remember the truckers in Canada and people being arrested and locked up indefinitely?

American here. We don't want trouble either man. The Beef should had been with Mexico and illigals from the south. But never would i had thought he attack our friendly neighbor north. Really corny if you ask me. Please Trump, work with Canada. They are our Friends. We need Eachother.

I'm personally sorry to Canada and it's people. I did not vote for this evil, selfish, hateful man. We must all join together and remove this dangerous regime from office.

Trump isn’t a smart man. But he is a man baby who loves to be told he’s a smart man, which is why other leaders do it. \n\nI do wonder what the end game is. Trump wants to make Canada the 51st state (to get the natural resources and despoil the country by drilling for oil). Does he really imagine that this is going to endear Canadians to America. Is he planning to deteriorate the relationship so that eventually he invades Canada? Because the tariffs make absolutely no sense for the reasons Trump has given.

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.
