Well Justin, after listening to you smug listing of all the measures you’ve taken to reduce fentanyl traffic as well as “other” traffic and implemented US requests for cleaning up border issues. I ask: “Had the US not made these requests, would you have done the neighbourly thing and cared enough for your neighbour to have monitored what criminals in your country were up to? It appears you had to be reminded of your duties inherent in the ‘office of being a good neighbour’.\nYou are STILL weak and the mouthpiece of ‘controlling interests’ in Europe who in the end will toss you out on the street like some sucked dry orange and forget your fawning presence ever existed. Man up and at least try to leave an honourable legacy for Canadians. The BOC will then be able to fulfil its mission of printing its own money without bringing Canada into the slave-pit of European Banksters.

Prime Minister Trudeau is boldly hitting the nails on the head, and I admire his boldness and honesty as I've always admired Canada and its peoples. Trump is in the back pocket of the Russian dictator. His actions prove it to my satisfaction. Canada has been a staunch friend of the US, a real partner not just for economic benefits for both countries but for a democratic way of life. Canada is a strong democracy whose people are known for their open hearts and minds. I pray that this idiotic trade war started by a man who is subservient to Putin will come to an end. I say to Canadians, let us stick to our common values of democracy, free expression, peaceful borders, and our commitment to the greatest good of the many rather than the greatest good of the few and the Russian dictator.

I've never seen this guy so upset.

I wish we had somebody like Prime Minister Trudeau in the US Government instead of what we've had (OK, a couple weren't so bad).

Americans your President is a Russian asset & your country is now a vassal state. You know you’ve fk’d up when even Canadians & Australians think you’re a joke.

I’ve been stuck in the US for so long. I forgot what a coherent leader sounds like.

I said it when DJT ran for President the first time. He doesn't know how to run a country. He is not Presidential at all. He is going to bankrupt our country. Put out safety at risk while alienating longtime allies. We have never in my life time trusted Russia. What we will be leaving our future generations is debt. More debt then we've ever known.

Canada complaining about tarrifs when they’ve had tarrifs on USA for YEARS! Why is it fair for Canada to have tarrifs on USA and as soon as USA puts tarrifs on Canada Canada is the victim??? ? laugh my ass off. Canada you are NOT the victim!!! Tarrifs will effect your country the most.

Justin, you are a very dumb person, but for a change you’ve said a very smart things today

3:10 this part I 100% disagree with. They didn't sabotage their agenda at all. Their agenda was always to screw over the working and middle class, and give everything to the rich. That's been the Republican agenda for as long as I've been alive (25 years), and it's not changing anytime soon.

I stand with Canada, I’ve been there many times and hugely respect the people and the country ??

Trudeau you are a weak lying snake bending truth to your victim narrative. Trump put you on notice regarding tariffs and here we are. Do you think he is not a man of his word? Well you have now experienced that this is in fact the case first hand. You have taken from America with very little in return and these are the consequences of your woke agenda for Canada. Look at you spouting venom, dischord and anarchy from your pulpit. Trump is interested in econmic revival for America and if you are not on board you will fall by the wayside. Only smart leaders realise throwing insults at Trump will only weaken your countries position. Surely you realise Trump is one of the most persecuted people on the planet, unjustly so, and your rhetoric will fall on deaf ears in the whitehouse. They've heard all the nonsense before. But, continue throwing the insults, chuck your toys out the pram, if it makes you feel like a grownup. I don't fancy your chances though.

Maybe Trudeau will come around when Canadians find out they've been duped by him.

Please leave already Trudeau we've had enough of your corruption and lies no one likes you.

I’ve never been more ashamed of my country’s leadership! I’m entirely convinced Trump is a Russian asset.

When speaking to Trump about their previous work together, Trudeau should have characterized the deals they've made, the jobs and prosperity they created, and the resulting rise in stock markets as Donald Trump's LEGACY from his first term, then ask why Trump was so eager to flush all that good away. \n\nPeople will remember, Donald. Voters will remember.

Not a fan at all of Trudeau's – however, he was way too damn *ELEGANT* and this is quite the *MOST RARE TRUDEAU W ?* that I've ever seen ???

You Americans are incredible. It's not hard to believe that this is going on. It's hard to believe you've elected such a ridiculous dumb mean bully lying helpless narcissique pervert clown. ?

As an American, I've never been more proud of Canada.

Not directoy to trump, hes not as brave as Zelensky.\n\nWhen he was directly with trump the best he could do is laugh nervously.\n\nFurthermore, Zelensky just said he would sign the minerals deal, so the UK promising boots on the ground and planes in rhe air is the most murderous, greediest, most evil thing I've heard all week. These bullets could have stopped by now if people hadn't egged Zelensky on.

Yeah, pretend to care when it matters. But turn a blind eye to the financial burden you’ve screwed Canadian’s over with during the past 9 years. You resigned over a month Justin ago, get out. We want a real leader.

Europe is next on the chopping block ??, you’ve screwed USA for far too long!!!

I've always said, ole trump dumb as a stump. him and putrid, i mean putin are thick as thieves, and I don't trust the pair of them. something should be done about them both.

As a Canadian this is the first time I’ve ever agreed with everything Justin Trudeau has said, he was bang on on every point

3rd generation American here, I too stand with Canada, the UK, Mexico and Europe, not with Russia, China or the communist worshiping president that I did NOT vote for. This is what happens when people are too chicken to vote for a female President who's already been Vice President and has more integrity in the tip of her pinky than trump & musk have combined. trump and his cabinet should be removed for treasonous acts, tried , and jailed. They've weakened the security of our country.

I've seen the trade numbers.\nU.S. buys a lot more from all these countries than they buy from us....everything combined. Make that make sense. \nIt's time we trade equally and some folks are upset. Make that make sense.\nIf friendships matter, why don't we trade equally?

Why can’t we have a real leader like this! Instead we have a belligerent egomaniac Russian asset as president. He shouldn’t have even had 10% of the vote. Y’al knew better but didn’t vote better because of many superficial reasons, among them, sexism and racism. Now all of us Americans are losing. I’d love to see the day when we as Americans can come together as ONE & stand up against people like Trump that are harming all Americans. United we stand. Divided, ALL of us fall. Some of y’al thought it wouldn’t impact you even if his policies impacted others (and not you) so you didn’t care and voted for public enemy #1 despite all the warnings given. Now here we are. I really truly hope that America has a whole will look at ourselves in the mirror at what we’ve allowed to be, and change our ways by coming together as one country that wants to see Americans do well and be good and be able to take care of their families, regardless of race or sex, or gender, immigration status or any of the superficial barriers.

Trump stated during his campaign that this was coming. This is on the American voters. You wanted this, now you've got it. Not sure how you thought that higher prices for everything would be a win for you, but here you go...

They've chosen to Fuck The United States Constitution. They're TRAITORS.

Michigander and US Citizen since BIRTH. Canada is our best ally, what the actual F? We support your decision Canada!!! I've never been more embarrassed to be an American.

Why does Trudeau sound so sensible and believable compared to what we've been hearing from the US.

Where were you on fentanyl crisis before January? You’ve destroyed this country!

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

People..Hello..I believe that Trump has aligned himself with Russia, not our allies. Trump's new DOJ has immediately ceased prohibiting foreign money or interference in our Election's. They've stopped our offensive Cyber SECURITY team that prevent Russia from attacking US targets. Why would he do that? Trump has fired Apolitical Generals and Chiefs of staff in the Military, JAG and prosecutor's who weed out fraud or corruption, even involving Trump's actions. Trump doesn't want stopped, if he wants to change the Constitution or demand the Military to arrest citizens. He's Dismantled checks and balances, and evades the Rule of Law. Trump stopped US aid to keep Ukraine's Power Grid functioning, so people hospitalized wouldn't freeze to death. We obviously have a Russian Asset running the Oval office. It only took HITLER 53 day's to become a Dictator. You had better speak up quickly, Republicans and Democrats or you are going to lose your FREEDOMS.

All of our party leaders INCLUDING CONSERVATIVES are against Trump and his tariffs. If anything, thank you USA.... you've united an entire country. Albeit, against you.

Wrong! We’ve chose to stop getting fleeced by all these other countries that have taken advantage of us for years! We will be fine!

Trudeau used harsh language???\n\nOh, sweet summer's child, you've never heard harsh, have you dear?\n\nBless your heart.

The free ride is over you’ve stolen our car industry and make us pay you $200 billion a year? The free ride is over.

The American people hired Trump to do exactly what he’s doing. Tired of being the world’s bank. Trudeau DO NOT LECTURE AMERICANS. You need to address your own citizens. You’ve destroyed Canada. You should resign. You’re a commie. Just like your daddy Castro.

Donald is not a smart man, without any doubt he is the dumbest leader I've seen in my 74 years.

What an absolute disgraceful time to be American. I've never been so ashamed of my country.

Respect for Canada from Romania! I used to agree with Trump and Musk on some things but I can't state how much they've fallen in my eyes. Trump ally of Putin? That's insane..

Best speech I've heard from Justin .. way to go. PS (We still love our friends in the US)

I've never been a fan of Trudeau and strongly object to some of his past actions, but man did he find a pair of balls. Huge respect from Finland!

I am not a Trudeau fan, and with good reason, BUT this is the first time in10 years that I have seen Justin speak so well, so powerfully, so clearly, without hesitation and with FACTS.\n\nThank you, Justin. You've impressed me today.

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

Thank you, Canada! As an American, I am appalled at the hellmouth this administration that I did not vote for has dragged my country into. Nothing I see suggests to me that the people we've entrusted with enforcing our laws and our constitution will come through for us against this coup that has broken with democracy and simple decency. So you do whatever you have to do to protect the interests of your own citizens, and I will have to hope that ultimately it will help topple these monsters who have taken this country hostage.

Us Americans who spoke out about this from the Bottom of my heart ? Thank you ? \nHe is not my President we’ve been taken over by Russia ??

The fact is...they've been benefiting from America for years! We don't NEED canada.

Just 1 month into the cursed reign of the Tangerine Palpatine, we have:\n1. Tanked our stock market\n2. Tanked our economy\n3. Watched as tens of thousands of our fellow Americans have lost their jobs for no reason\n4. Alienated our closest friends and allies\n5. Made 90% of Americans worse off and poorer\n6. Made everything we consume more expensive\n7. Made elon musk even richer\n\nI've never been more ashamed and embarrassed to be an American. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Ukraine.
