CNN celebrating an outgoing Prime Minister of a foreign county to give a “blistering speech” against the new American president, while when he does that, they fall apart in disbelieve and outrage!\n\nWhat else is “NEWs”?\n\nRename CNN Candian Network News, maybe. \n\nI used to watch CNN daily, now it’s just a turn-off. Literally. \n\nTrudeau has been a disaster for Canada and Canadians… and he’s being chased “out of town”, but if he attacs the US or even better Pres. Trump, he’s oh so cool and fashionable. \nBut is he?\nHe helped Trump get elected, just like the woke left and CNN. \n\nPad yourself on your shoulders, it wasn’t easy but you did it, well with the help of the rest of the left media. \n\nThanks!

Stop insulting our President! We are no longer woke communist like Trudeau and the EU, and we are focusing on us, as the world does not appreciate all we do and we are far from perfect here. President Trump is one of the great Presidents that made America and Canada so successful in the past, and all these socialist a$$bags can do is cry and get in the way of progress! We are the superpower of the world for a reason and you’re on the wrong path my Canadian friends! Watch you ? mouth long story short!

Canada and their snowflake PM can talk all they want! The trade deficit numbers between the US and Canada will crush Canada and be barely felt in the US. All of these comments are uninformed and uneducated. Once again, Canada will cave in a short time because it's unsustainable for their economy. Time to step up your border security or watch your economy crash!

Watch the American's blaming Canada now.

As soon as Trudeau or any other Canadian Liberal MP says, “Let me be crystal clear,” or refer to clarity, you can be sure that there is dishonesty happening! This guy has been working on Canada’s destruction for 9 years. He has given away Billions of taxpayers hard earned dollars to those of his choosing, as though it were his to give. He has been financially running Canada into the ground with the help of his financial advisor, Mark Carney. He has let The Canadian Armed Forces disintegrate for lack of funding, while choosing to refuse payment to NATO and those who help to defend Canada. He and his Government have been involved with billion dollar scandals and have become a major force of “Legalized Crime!” Now he wants to lay the blame for his poor leadership on the US. Unfortunately, many Canadians don’t see the truth! The Canadian News Media support the Government and suppress the truth by backing the Government Propaganda and by twisting the truth into untruth! It’s a childish game being played by an entitled child who doesn’t care about the people he was supposed to be leading. I would imagine, that if their Conservative Party Leader Poilievre wins the upcoming election, he will be able to straighten out many of the troubles that have been caused by the World Economic Forum Puppets and their agenda. I doubt that the Canadian People are in favor of the agenda of having nothing and being happy. What foolishness the elites expect people to believe. I’m sure that our Government will be able to get it all ironed out when Canada gets a leader that really cares about their people and not about those fake Carbon Taxes. It’s very interesting to watch what’s going on up in Canada! Interesting but sad, because they don’t have the ability to impeach a bad, unethical leader…

Thank you for the truth! Leadership in display. Canada future is bright with leadership Justin Trudeau. Watching other countries leaders address, I realize indeed, we are no longer a country envy of the world! We have lies, propaganda filled our air way, greedy corporations and people struggle for basic needs. Sad!

As a Canadian I am embarrassed, ashamed and fearful! Everything that this idiot spews forth is just pure drama. All President Trump wanted was for Canada to take care of the drug problem that has killed so many. In the 9 years that this government has been in power he has done absolutely NOTHING to stop this catastrophe, in fact he has stood by and watched it get worse….enabling cartels to gain more power with a lax system of slap on the wrist laws. And his immigration department is asleep at the wheel.  \nI pray that some common sense enters the picture soon…

Trudeau is an idiot.. be a partner as you claim to be! Stop the fentanyl, watch the border for aliens , and spend 2% of GDP on military.. all good INVESTMENTS in Canada!!

Watching in Hungary/Slovakia: Amazing speech - hope it's understandable also to many Americans. They need to understand it before they feel the impact of Trump's trade war w/ his frm allies. I'm so proud I got an opportunity to spend few months learning English in Canada - lovely country and lovely people w/ great leaders.

Wow, that’s a very good polite speech of a leader. I’m Asian used to live in Ontario 10 years ago and I love Canadian people they are not racist. \nI so wish you all luck for your loving Country. \nGo go go Canada !!!! watching from Czech Republic ❤

Watch out, Canada, Mexico, Europe and other countries will form an economic block and move on WITHOUT AMERICA.

Watch him fold soon/ he needs US more then we need Canada _ Canada need a New President/ he is corrupt anyway!! Very_

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

Trump said Canada is part of USA,this one among future state(s) to USA.The World is watching

We in UK are with Canada! We also love the US!! Please sort it out soon guys! The world is watching and so is President Putin!

The Mexican President CLAUDIA SHEINBAUM writes to Trump and Musk on behalf of THE REST OF THE WORLD:\n\nSo, you voted to build a wall… Well then, my dear Americans, even if you don’t know much about geography—after all, for you, “America” is your country and not an entire continent—it’s important that before you lay the first stone, you know what you’re locking out with this wall.\n\nOutside, there are 7 billion people; but since the concept of “people” doesn’t seem to interest you much, let’s call them consumers instead.\n\nThere are 7 billion consumers ready to replace the iPhone with a Samsung or Huawei within 42 hours. They can also swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti.\n\nQuite comfortably, within six months, we can stop buying Ford or Chevrolet vehicles and switch to Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW, which are technically far superior.\n\nThese 7 billion people could also cancel their Direct TV subscriptions and—even if we wouldn’t like it—stop watching Hollywood movies, opting instead for Latin American or European productions, which are superior in quality, content, and cinematography.\n\nAs incredible as it may sound, we can stop traveling to Disney and instead visit Xcaret in Cancún, Mexico, Canada, or Europe—there are many incredible destinations in South America, Asia, and Europe.\n\nAnd believe it or not: There are even better burgers in Mexico than McDonald’s—with higher nutritional value.\n\nHas anyone ever seen a pyramid in the United States? In Egypt, Mexico, Peru, Guatemala, Sudan, and many other countries, there are pyramids with fascinating cultures. Take a look at where the wonders of the ancient and modern world are located… None of them are in the U.S. Too bad for Trump—otherwise, he would have bought and resold them!\n\nWe know that Adidas exists, not just Nike, and we can start consuming Mexican sneakers like Panam.\n\nWe know far more than you think; for example, we know that if these 7 billion consumers stop buying your products, unemployment will rise, and your economy will collapse so severely within your racist wall that you’ll beg us to tear it down. We didn’t want anything, but… You wanted a wall? Then you’ll get a wall.\n\nSincerely, \nTHE REST OF THE WORLD. \n\nPlease forward this message to 12 people. If you don’t, nothing will happen—except that many people won’t learn about these realities. \n\nCLAUDIA SHEINBAUM \nPRESIDENT OF MEXICO

FROM BRITAIN WE STAND WITH CANADA , I WILL NOW SIT BACK AND ENJOY WATCHING AS THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS LODE THEIR JOBS THEIR FARMS THEIR MEDICADE THEIR SOCAIL SECURITY THEIR SNAP BENEFITS THHEIR FOOD STAMPS LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Other leaders watching need to know you can't fake influence. Canada is standing on business.

Trump will watch this begin to fail, as Canada and Mexico stand up to his bullying, and he will proclaim border crossings have stopped and fentanyl has been eradicated! So he will cancel the tariffs and declare he was such a tough guy he made them adhere to his will. Trump is a master at getting ahead of the news cycle, all the while lying and FAILING. He ruins all he touches and brags about being a genius. He is a sick man.

Like a chihuahua barking at a pit bull. Kind of funny to watch. The US is 40% of Canada’s GDP. They are 2.7% of ours. Guess who this hurts more.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Good for you Canada, I am embarrassed to be an American, it is so sad. I love my country and have to watch it being torn to shreds.

Canada watch your border very closely you are dealing with a mad man in the US, he has already said he wants you as the 51st state. I know this sounds absurd but the things I have seen happening in the US, nothing would surprise me now.

As an American who was born here and live here for over 50 years, I am so ashamed of this government, the republican politicians and some of the democratic politicians. The MAGA cult is overwhelming our everyday lives in combination with Trump, Vance and Musk vast amounts of lies, deceit, disrespect for the low-middle class American families, cozying up to the fascist dictator Putin, turning your back on our best ally Canada by instigating these ridiculous tariffs, and a whole host of other atrocities that have occurred in the past few weeks. Let this sink in... in the past few weeks! What is it going to be like in a few months or by the end of this term? With the way it's going, we're going to be damned lucky that we're going to be here at all, otherwise Trump and Putin can rule over a nuclear decimated scorched earth. Americans that are already sick, tired and completely fed up with all of the grandiose shit-storm actions coming out of the White House, please do what you absolutely can to shout from the rooftops, we will not concede, we will not bow down and kiss the ring, we will not be bullied and we will not stand idly by and watch a narcissistic, misogynistic, blow-hard dictator-loving(Putin), felonious bully and all his butt-munching fuck-tard cronies burn this country to the ground. RESISTANCE!

Watch how fast Canada folds. Game bravado on Camera on the phone..... Punk.

As an American, I don’t watch CNN clips and believe what politicians say on either side to get my news. However, it’s absolutely true that EU, and China places tariffs on the US. It is also true that United States provide most of the security for all the free nations. At what point do we say enough? I do not know if Mexico or Canada has tariffs on US goods before this. But if they did, they have become quite entitled, haven’t they.

@robertedward7023 The channels you watch spoon fed you propaganda day and night. Try doing your own research for once in your life. Canada is making everything that goes into Fentanyl. They do NOT want our borders closed. Go see how much is really coming in from the northern border. It's not the 2% that they apprehend!!!! It kills 200 Americans PER DAY!!! EVERYDAY!!!

Oh 125 billion huh trump can subsidized canada for 100 billion for the deficit. Smh watch what happens

When I was growing up in Canada, hearing of someone being a “Proud American” was something I admired. Today it’s a punch line to a joke about the American education system. They have nothing left to be proud of, and I’m so thankful to be from this country instead. Trump administration or not, the American people can not be trusted to vote in their own self interest, let alone the interests of the allies that stood with them for the last century and who have lost lives sending men and women over seas to answer the American call for friendship, justice, and loyalty. America wants to stand alone so let them. The global order is shifting, and Canada needs to plan accordingly. Don’t listen to what people say, watch what they do, and Americans have done enough.

Many of us understand and appreciate Canada’s position. The orange buffoon and his minions are not smart, they are selfish, greedy and hateful. They are working to complete their project using the destruction of this country as payment. Many of us are helplessly watching this country crash and burn. Tariffs are gonna cost us dearly! MAGA congratulations this is what you voted for!

Canada has a very important “CARD” in the table. Invite China to be your business partner and invest heavily in your country and you won’t suffer anything because China is a super power too. Just change direction, it doesn’t matter where the wealth comes as long as you are working in partnership. China China China! That is a language Trump really understand. If you don’t do that then these tariffs will harm your people so don’t let that happen. Invite CHINA now! As much as I don’t like China I wouldn’t think I’d be watching this nonsense and bully behavior from our president.

Trudeau got the memo and watched Love Actually ??\n\nThe world MUST follow Canada

The people who killed Eric, my loved one who was murdered in the World Trade center, came in through Canada; not that I'm upset blut it. I just wish they never could've lied their way through to kill someone they never knew, whio WASN'T greedy OR evil but died for it anyway while we watched it happen. Does anyone know what that feels like? I felt like I was standing in the 9th circle of Dante's hell.\nJust like I feel right now. Being punished for something I DIDN'T do again. Punish HIM. He's the one doing it.\nMary Trump has never called him smart. She's his niece.

As an American who voted for Kamala, it’s been like watching a trainwreck the past months. Really sad it’s going to take experiencing the worst for Americans to understand how much of a liar trump is. Canada should do whatever they need to to defend themselves and their economy

Until we fix the bully, do what you have to do to protect yourself. Smart folks know fentanyl traffic is less than .08% coming from your borders. HE is scared to bully the real threats and agitators like Russia, North Korea and somewhat China so he is picking on Canada to ‘appear’ tough to his ignorant base that is working so much due to low wages, that there have no time to read or watch anything other than his propaganda.

I'm watching Trudeau deliver a fiery speech, addressing Trump directly. He called out policies and actions that have strained Canada-U.S. relations, emphasizing the consequences for both countries and the urgent need for respect and cooperation moving forward. We don’t want this, but here we are, facing the reality.

As a Brit I knew I loved Canada. They are like the more sophisticated, educated cousin of America ❤ Trudeau compared to Trump is like a watching a mature articulate man against a big spoiled orange baboon.

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

Ask your self why we give money away to foreign countries while others give money as a loan. The world needs the USA. Canada can’t protect Ukraine, Germany,can’t do it. So who will? If our allies think they can do it better then bring our troops home. Watch what happens to their economies. Let their sons and daughters be the first to go in. Let us play a support role. We used to be the police of the world now they want us to be the bank and the police of the world enough is enough.And I’m a veteran as well.

From Ireland, well done Canada. We cannot believe that Trump got in. Watching the US unravel is scary. We stand with Ukraine, Europe and Canada

Norway stand with you Canada in support, you held a good speech??!\n\nI look forward to seeing the outcome of the tariffs the U.S. imposes on other countries, which are then retaliated against. When the U.S. imposes tariffs on other countries and those countries retaliate, it can lead to several negative consequences. First, American consumers may face higher prices on both imported and domestic goods affected by retaliatory tariffs. U.S. exporters could lose market share in key markets, and American companies relying on global supply chains may experience higher costs. This could also trigger trade wars, reducing global trade and hindering economic growth. Increased uncertainty may reduce investments in the U.S., and in the long term, the U.S. could lose economic influence if other countries form alternative trade agreements. Countries turning their backs on the U.S. will eventually lead to the U.S. isolating itself. We can continue to trade among ourselves, build growth together, and watch the U.S. crumble from the outside. By the way i also respect and love the American people, just not the goverment today and how they treat others, allies and friends.

Build a wall, Canada! Build it now. We are watching The Handmaid's Tale become a reality

Stand Tall Canada - the World is watching you stand against another murderous dictator in waiting.. Canada must broach all avenues of economics.. even those in the southern hemisphere.. Australia is one economy.. l was born in Australia.. and stand with the Canadians... the people of the free world must stand together

A very respectful and reasonable response from Canada ??? watching in disbelief from across the pond ??

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..

Did Sunny from the view watch this press conference BECAUSE it is clear why The US goes after the southern border instead of Canada....Canada clearly does their part instead of the Southern Countries who could care less

I completely agree with what trump did. He’s doing an amazing job! Funny that Trudeau is trying to put forth the same false narratives as our Democratic Party does. You can tell that he def watches cnn and MSNBC. \nThe American people don’t like you Trudeau. Your own people hate you too. You’re a tyrant. What you’ve done to the Canadians is sick. Especially with taking away free speech and jailing people for hateful speech. \nYou people in Canada actually give heroin and cocaine to people who want it at certain safe injection sites. Don’t try to act like you’re really about stopping the drug flow.

As an American, I would rather see the US become a 4th territory of Canada, instead of watching our country be destroyed daily by the amateur fascist that a feeble and feckless Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed to escape justice, and to become the 47th president with the help of a psychotic South African billionaire, and 49% percent of our population who is too fucking stupid to NOT worship at the dangly scrotum of trump and putin.

Even as an American, I am proud to think one American in particular watched Connor score his Overtime goal, only to realize he had lost his first stand off with Canada in such a public, humiliating way! Now to see the man his wife made the moves on address both nations with more toughness and intelligence than he ever showed has got to hurt him real bad! Well done Canada! All the love from your American fan and supporter! ??❤️??

Why do people still watch CNN after being lied to over and over? Didn't they tell you Hilary was winning in 2016 and then lied to you guys again about Harris leading in the polls in 2024 lol. Not sure if you guys knew but we all know there's immediate pain with these tariffs but in the long run, we should come out on top. I get you guys are emotional and don't like Trump but the reality is that USA doesn't need Mexico or Canada but they need the USA. Mexico and Canada's exports are 70-80% to the USA while we only export 13-14% to them. This means most of their economy relies on the USA and only a small of ours rely on theirs.
