Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

Why 25% on Canada versus 20% on China? ?\nIf it's not aimed to destroy your closest neighbor ?

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

All Planned , from Both sides ,,,,,, WEF UN WHO run the Show ... but the Dumm kanadians will be Happy again paying 20% more Carbon Tax Apr 1st lol Deserved and do not forget to get your Boosters , Safe and Effective ....

Canada is 347 0ut of 348, global container ports, Trudeau stymied growth, infrastructure, and Canadas future, he blames the USA, for his only push three issues, LBGt, carbon tax and Dei... Why no new industries built in Canada, we essentially only sell cars and oil to the USA at 20% discount. Try buying Canadian, but these are all foreign products, because Canadian bureaucracy and poor productivity, ie, unions and government employees all at home. EXAMPLE, after owning hunting rifles for sixty year, Trudeau minions, contacted my at least six time when I attempted to renew my firearms licence, even phoning my wife for a old man... Go figure, Trudeau only knows how to Hire voters... The problem is Trudeau, you voted for it so now you will pay!!!

Trying to get a job now is ridiculous..... because they will all work for 17 bucks an hour and be totally happy about it. Sharing a 1 bedroom apartment with 20 people in Brampton makes it easy, I guess.

When i was younger i traveled the USA from the middle to east coast at least 20 states and had some great times. I could never live in the USA do to difference way of life. I have seen homes in Southern states that still have outhouses. My 1st time witnessing racism was in the Southern states and was shocked. Have not been back to the USA since Trump became President 1st time and now probably never will because of the politics. Glad I did then many good memories

There was an Air India flight which crashed and killed more than 20 canadians... No enquiry because his favorite khalistan terrorists were involved.

Dude had 20 days left till they kick him out. His words are empty. He let Indians overrun their country country

Hi guys i just woke up from a 20 year old COMA.... Whats happening.? is Canada our enemy now? IN WHAT WORLD?

As a Canadian Trudeau hater, he really spoke well on this. Unfortunately, this man is also importing another 20% tax on his own ppl in a month

When a leader has a brain , a heart and a vocabulary with more than 20 words.

lol the USA was at a deficit by over 20% for over a decade. This is a cry wolf

Imagine being so dumb you vote for an orange man with fake hair, a wife 35 years younger than him from RUSSIA, 17 felony counts against him, who has been bankrupt 7 times...after inheriting $250 million at 20 years old.....and then RAISES the cost of goods and services in under a month on you....after running on saying he was going to do the EXACT opposite

These are the Tarriffs Canada has on the U.S \n \n- Dairy Products: \n- Milk: 270% \n- Cheese: 245% \n- Butter: 298% \n- Poultry: 238% \n- Eggs: 163% \n- Barley: 160% \n- Wheat: 94% \n- Sugar: 265% \n- Peanut Butter: 295% \n- Rice: 150% \n- Vegetables: 100% \n- Fish Products: 100% \n- Lumber: 20% \n- Shoes: 30% \n- Cocoa: 30% \n- Metals: 25% \n- Wool: 30% \n- Tobacco: 100+%

It should be reciprocal trade.\nYou tariff us 20% We tariff you\n20%. See, it’s easy to understand. Trudeau wants it lopsided to them.

All these years US has a trade deficit of 1 trillion dollars every year. With tariffs we could have recovered 250 billion every year. That is a lot of money. Currently every American owes $110,000 because of the accumulated debt of 36.5 trillion.\n\nJustin, how long are we supposed to bend back wards while US has a trade deficit of trillion dollar over the past 20 years. Why cant to you balance the imports and exports so that you don't have to keep taking advantage of USA. CNN did not see the trade deficit every single year for 20 years? what are they talking about? Our news channels have just become political entities rather than looking for the greater good of the Americans. One is for Republicans and others for Democrats - ridiculous. \n\nCanada and Mexico are saying, please stop tariffs, it is going to hurt America. LOL. No it is not. If tariffs were there in 2024, US would have gotten back 15 billion dollar revenue from Canada and Mexico would have paid 46 billion to USA. All this time, this was affecting only Americans and while you are enjoying not paying for your share, you have made US pay by taking loans to pay for the imports increasing our Debt. Yes it has been hurting America for the past 20 years, otherwise how did we accumulate 36.5 trillion debt.\n\nLike Justin said, if Canada can survive while paying 15 billion to USA, of course USA will do fine while collecting the 15 billion from Canada and 46 billion form Mexico. What do you all think that the public is blind?\n\nTo the American Public: Why would we impose tariffs, if that is going to hurt the US. And why are Canada and Mexico shaking in their boots? It would be naive, if you think it is out of their good heart. It had been hurting US for the past 20 years and they did not care. This time it is going to hurt them so all this fuss. The bottom line is that they don't want to pay all the excess that they have been dumping on us while they were benefiting. USA will use the revenue generated (total around 250 billion for 2025 form tariffs) to reduce our tax, make things more affordable, inject in to our own businesses and generate more employment.

Hey man, I dont like the guy but he did the thing here. Good job, Justin. You represented us well here for 20 minutes.

9:20 show off ...

Our imports from Canada are like 1% of our GDP, our exports to Canada are close to 20% of Canada’s GDP. Pretty sure the US will be okay.

Go after American retailers in Canada. Go after Walmart, Home Depot, Costco and Best Buy. We also have a plethora of American restaurants in Canada, Justin should tax them all. Don't give Canada to that lunatic Trump for free, fight dollar for dollar Justin.\n\nWe also use alot of American drilling tools, equipment and machines in oil and gas. We go after all these companies and put pressure on them. Their silence is a support for Trump!!\n\nFrom now onwards, Canada should reduce her relanance on America to a mere 20% or lower. Issues like this should inspire Canadian politicians to go global and seek partners worldwide.

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed lower for the fourth session in a row. All three major US stock indexes are in the red since President Donald Trump took office on January 20; the Nasdaq is down more than 1% since the start of 2025.\n\nIdiot MAGA imbeciles...and Trumps kids shorted atocks on daddys recommendation and they raked in over $200,000,000

This idiot Wolf Blitzer has done nothing but tank CNN's rating for the past 20 years so ya might want to stear clear of his opinions. I hope he retires in Canada.

I can't bealive how dumb US liberals are, US literally has one of the highest reserve of oil and natural gas, US used to sell oil to Japan, India and many other countries when trump was last time in office but Biden distroyed that by banning the drill. 70% of import from canda to US is oil and natural gas which they don't need they just have to switch on those machines again which they already did and in few weeks they will not just ful fill their own need bul aslo start selling gas to Japan and India as trump promised in last meeting with them, and rest 20% import from Canda is electricity, they used to busy that electricity just to bypass the Paris climate aggrement of having green electricity, biden insted of building green electricity industry he choosed to buy those from Canada and last rest 10% left which is $15billion for economy like US this much money is peanuts and 30% tarrife on that will have nearly no impact.

Lou Dobbs talked about the north American union 20 years ago

20% carbon tax?

Trudeau has what, 20 days left in power and he's lecturing the US! Clown. Why haven't you come up with a solution to Ukraine instead of spouting your petulant mouth. Good riddance. Who needs who here? Canadian economy is a drop in the buck compared to the U.S.

Everyone freaking out and fighting against a 25 percent tariff but won’t do anything about the 20 percent carbon tax increase on April 1st ?

Trudeau is a joke. While he is pushing his agenda. Fur starters, he fails to mention the trade deficit with the usa. So bottom line while everyone loses, canada loses more. The us can survive a lot easier without canada, while canada will suffer a lot more without the usa.\n\nWhen i bring cheese from the usa to canada, there is a 200% tax on anything above my $20 personal exemption, the save is not the same when bringing dairy to the usa.\n\nIf you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly.\n\nAfter watching zelensky from Ukraine, Trudeau is pretty stupid if he thinks he will win this one.

We don't want to it's either and I sure didn't vote for anyone involved. 2:20

1:20 that was slick. who is the new USA administration? 1:21

Every year 20 million Canadian travel to USA and that will stop soon and USA hotels and small businesses and airlines lose about 17 billion dollars just there, At the end USA will lose more than Canadian, Trump bows down for Putin but stab Canada and Mexico from back.

This is great!!! Canada 20 vs US 80. Trump is not shakin even one little bit!! It’s a golden age for the US for sure!!! MAGA!! ??????????

Every country in the world should impose 20% on american goods as a response to this. See who will start crying

The U.S. could shut down all trade with Canada tomorrow and lose 1.2% of its GDP. Canada would lose 20%. \nWho do you think survives a tariff war?

Canada started a trade war a long time ago. \nDairy Products: \nCheese - 245% \nMilk - 270% \nButter - 298% \nPoultry - 238% \nEggs - 163% \nBarley - 160% \nWheat - 94% \nSugar - 265% \nPeanut Butter - 295% \nRice - 150% \nVegetables - 100% \nFish Products - 100% \nLumber - 20% \nShoes - 30% \nCocoa - 30% \nMetals - 25% \nWool - 30% \nTobacco - $100+% \n \nTrump is actually being VERY NICE with a 25% tariff

How about you remove the carbon tax that is already killing Canadians financially! You're about to raise it another 20% and no one seems to mention that!

0:20 This will hurt Donald's ears. He can't stand hearing bad words about Poutine the other imperialist.

Working Canadians support Trump. All the loud mouths that take 25 years to pay off their mortgage talking shit about a man thats made it big several times hahaha the same uneducated liberal followers that are agreeing with the prime minister that ruined Canada and helped fund the killing in both Ukraine and Palestine. Pathetic! Clown trying to pin Trumps tarifs that just started today for the mess hes caused..no wonder 80% of Canadians are embarrassed but the comments here show the other 20%

Trudeau is correct. I am ashamed of our current usa government and its treatment of its closest allies. We are no longer the leader of the free world. \nUnder trump the usa seems to be siding with putin and disrespecting, victimizing and bullying our closest and best allies. He refers to trudeau as governor, inferring he will be governor if canada were to join the usa. Such childishness and immaturity from the leader of our country. Our allies will realign with other countries. The usa has lost the free worlds trust. It will take the usa 20 plus years to regain respect.\nTrudeau is extremely well spoken, calm and states facts. How different from president trump.

If we compare Trump’s tariff policies with the approach taken during Smooth-Hawley Tariff Act (1930), there are striking similarities and key differences in terms of economic impact and global consequences. Here’s a comparison:\n\nSimilarities:\n\t1.\tProtectionist Goals:\n\t•\tBoth Trump’s tariffs and the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act were implemented to protect domestic industries by imposing heavy tariffs on foreign goods.\n\t•\tSmoot-Hawley raised tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods, while Trump has imposed significant tariffs on China, Canada, Mexico, and the EU.\n\t2.\tRetaliation by Other Nations:\n\t•\tAfter the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act, U.S. trading partners retaliated with their own tariffs, leading to a massive decline in U.S. exports.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are already facing retaliation from Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU, which could slow down global trade.\n\t3.\tMarket Instability & Economic Risk:\n\t•\tThe Smoot-Hawley tariffs are widely believed to have exacerbated the Great Depression by restricting global trade and worsening economic conditions.\n\t•\tTrump’s tariffs are triggering stock market declines, price inflation, and global trade tensions, raising fears of a potential recession.

The only thing I have that's from Canada is maple syrup and that already cost $20 for a little bottle

Where is here in this from a man that nobody likes in his own country as far as his 1% what is 1% of 20 million that's what's coming in this country that's why we don't watch CNN we don't like Democrats

If yall like this shrimp then move to Canada. Theyve been sucking us dry for more than 20 years. Remember George Washington, or isolationism? These aren’t old concepts.

I’m American and I believe In Equal Tariffs … You charge 20 we should charge 20 but if you want to go higher I feel sure PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Will play your game to ..

trump is russian KGB spy agent for over 20 years

April 1st, the asshole taxes his own Canadian people with a 20% carbon tax ... That's wholesome and democratic, but when another leader holds you accountable, you play victim and gaslight. These SICK VILE LIberals will use anything to prop up their party but for 9 years they hurt and destroyed Canada.

Well Trudy, no one likes you in Canada, don't forget what Ukraine is doing with the money and ammunitions from countries, keeping the money and selling weapons 20 cents on the dollar to Hamas and other enemies. Don't try and be self righteous. Ukraine is the most corrupt European country in Europe way before this war, that's why the President won't leave and wants it to continue

Didn’t think uncle Justin had it in him. If he did this shit for the last 10 years instead of 10 minutes he’d likely be pm for 20 years.

After a speech like this, he will need to do at least a 20 min Sorry and Thank you in the Oval office for Trump to forgive him.
