I thought you were out!!! Canadians don’t want your lying butt!

I thought he resigned lol! His bosses are making him act

Is there anyway Trudeau can run for the presidency in the USA? We need help from an articulate, thoughtful thinking person as opposed to our current leader who blames everything on the Biden adminstration and names scapegoats for his own failings. Trudeau is hoping Donny will change....not in the cards!

I thought you resigned brah… any “American” that agrees with this silly talk should move to Canada. Bye Felicia

the Americans are so much more stupid than i thought hahahahahahaha

❤️??❤️ I truly hope anyone who thought that Trump cares for any but himself may now see that he does not and will not be doing any of you any good. His mental state is extremely unstable. The simple fact that he wants to partner up with Putin should be a big eye opener. ❤️??❤️

Man I just thought what if this is the shift of us losing our standing in the world as Americans. People better start shopping for what they need now than we want. It’s already hard day to day with wages we make imagine the cost associated with this trade war.

And Putin is loving this seeing you fight economically and thought that you is harming Russia Russia understand only one thing you must get as hard an persistent thy are stand you ground in Ukraine and all of this will go away not only economically

American here we don't care we have our own oil far as I'm concerned y'all canuks need us not the other way around ? don't get me wrong I like your ppl but Trudeau what happened I thought you were gone with your commy BS

I thought Just-in was retired... well that's what MSNBC told me? Man he's good looking, like a young Donald Trump

I thought America and Canada are close friends and business allies.

Why hasn't an American of this stature stepped up? Where are our reasonable and thoughtful younger people?

Never thought any U.S. president would want to deliberately hurt its 3 closest allies.

Thought he was resigning??? Must take a long time in Canada for a politician to actually resign

Regardless of your thoughts on Trudeau, that was a very professional and reasonable speech. \nJust two months ago, Canada was sending firefighters, planes, and water to help with the LA fires... I will never understand why Trump chose to bully Canada after decades of them being our closest ally??!!? \n\nThis feels like a black mirror episode. ?

Thought Castro child had resigned creep.

I thought he was stepping down 6 months ago

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

For over 70 years America has feared and fought Communism and Russia, now your President is praising and cozying up to and constantly praising Putin? And you thought Biden had lost his marbles? Heaven help the USA.

I thought they got rid of this guy. I almost fell asleep what a boring sermon.

Pls don't get me wrong. I love my president right or wrong. But Trudeau makes a very compelling point. This is not the smartest thing to be doing with these tariffs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the reason President Trump brought the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico in the 1st place was for them to do more about stopping the flow of Phentenol (excuse if spelling is wrong) into our country. I thought both countries have stepped up to do just that already. No? If so then why continue with this stupidness?

As an American, I stand with Canada and our allies! This is nuts! Republicans, I thought it was peace day one. What happened? If Donald's lips are moving, he's lying.

OMG! Harsh language from the Canadian Prime Minister? We thought those Canadians were so polite! What a clueless CNN reporter. Are they getting their script directly from Trump/Musk?

I thought 9% approval Trudeau was gone? \n\nLooks like you may have to jiggle the handle.

When will these Globalists leave! I thought he was resigning?

You are a Joker. I thought you resigned

Canadian people it is easily clear you have a thoughtful intelligent leader!

I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER put any value in what Trudeau has to say about anything! Isn’t he the pot calling the kettle black. I believe when truckers had something to say was it not Trudeau who instead of listening to his citizens did he not freeze truckers personal bank accounts. Doesn’t he alway have his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an A for effort but to wage war financially or physically with America will be the single worst knee jerk reaction anyone has made. America isn’t trying to wage a war. Our purpose is to get as many countries off of our nipple as possible. We pay so much as citizens. Hopefully Trudeau changes his thought process.

I thought TRUMP is tough. He is apparently ‘TRAMPED” by Putin. ???

Blame the voters for trump who thought he will lower prices he said anything to weak voters that fell for this big lie well get ready to have less spending money

Bravo Trudeau ! Never thought you had it in you. Unlike our fawning PM Starmer you have shown Canadians has the courage to hit back at bullies. Straight talking , plain speaking non of the arrogance, the lies , the gangster threats of the disgraceful Trump regime.

Canada, please know that the intellectual, thoughtful American public is with you, we are not with him, he is no more than a flash in the pan failed real estate developer and failed reality tv show host. We all know that this too shall pass, please stay with us.

I thought he resigned?

I thought you resigned

I thought he stepped down...

I thought I was watching a TV show. He seems like an actor.

Yep.... that's exactly how our US President sounds. Completely eloquent, thought provoking and with concern and passion for all human beings everywhere. ..................... I mean.... honestly.... does anyone feel that America is stronger & safer today? I doubt even the most ardent supporter of President Trump can honestly think that.... This is getting pretty darn serious and I'm not happy about that. IT IS ONLY THE FIRST MARCH of his SECOND TERM!!!!

Very articulate and thought out speech from an actual leader

Those who voted for the orange goblin will also pay the price. What u thought the orange goblin gave a fuck about your vote lol. How fucking stupid of u. Hard to believe it's just getting started. All of us are going to pay more.

I thought this grifter resigned?

I As an American citizen can only hope that we would have a president in office with the intelligence, compassion and dignity that PM Trudeau has. At this time I am truly ashamed of my country. Especially the ones that put this hateful, revenge seeking, criminal monster in our White House. I stand with you 100% Canada. I also hope that maybe within the next year, trump will be gone. I don't know how or where but just gone. As intelligent as prime minister Trudeau is I have to disagree with one comment he made. trump is NOT a smart man. He is nothing but a 34 count convicted felon, rapist and criminal wannabe dictator. I shudder at the thought of the end of his four year disaster. What will our country do when we have no allies whatsoever. He loves russia and putin, His puppet master. He does not understand that Russia has never been our friend, is not our friend. And never will be our friend. He just loves putin because He wants to be just like him. He is the United States very own Adolf Hitler. Also , I have removed our flag from my front yard that I so proudly displayed my entire life. It will be raised again but only after this nightmare called trump is gone! Please accept the apology from millions of Americans that stand with you. We are truly sorry and we are suffering with you. God help us. And God Bless Canada ❤

Its all GLOBALIST rhetoric... propaganda.. all of it! Thought this dufus criminal stepped down?

Yall remember what they said in rick and Morty?! How do you topple a government?! By turning a 01 into a 00!! Smh!! I believe the powers that be, is trying to make way for another country to take the lime light from us!! And that thought is very very scary!!

I thought Canadians generally are not super-nationalistic like the Americans, and Trudeau is not exactly very popular too. But somehow the current US government external policy managed to change both of that. And if the course is not changed ASAP, it will take generations to recover the relationship.

I thought this dude was gonna quit being the Canadian President?

I don't buy anything Canada so it's your loss, I thought you resigned already. You chose to be woke so FAFO.

I thought this guy resigned why is he still on the podium genuine question

I never been to US, but I always thought they speak English. I am so surprised to learn that they actually speak Russian ?

I thought this clown quit…

Brilliant!!! Well thought out and so well presented! Great work Canada!!!
