Prime Minister Trudeau has spoken calmly the Truth of the situation, that Trump has imposed upon Canada and the USA.\nTrump does not care how much American people will Suffer, and has utter contempt for Canadians.\nThese Tariffs are Stupid and Pointless, that will do no good for Canada or the USA, and will hurt the USA the Most.

As much as I don't like Trudeau and his policies I will give him credit that he has stepped up to the plate during this difficult time.\n\nThank you.

I wonder how much of people's discontent with Trudeau was caused by the Far Right believers.

Trudeau and the liberals were way underwater. Trump could have had a right wing ally in Canada, but Trump has managed to enrage everyone in Canada so much they are probably going to support a liberal gov't that will resist the US. Good!

Trudeau is as much of a dirtbag as Trump. Sad but true.

As much as I dislike Trudeau, I appreciate his candour and directness in his speech especially to Donald. It is also very pleasing to listen to someone who can eloquently articulate their thoughts.

Much respect to Canada and Trudeau. If only our president were like you.

Trudeau, where is your proof that Mr. Putin is a lying murderous dictator, other than your globalist talking points and this mysterious rules-based order conveniently rolled out and articulated by you and other Western leaders only when it serves to bamboozle the Canadian people. Oh, that's right. The truth is that Canada and its Western allies have done much worse than Vladimir Putin, unfortunately many Canadians have been indoctrinated by this silly rhetoric, and more importantly, their are many Canadians that simply see through your lies and remain vigilant for Canada and Canadians.

No Teleprompter, No name calling, just calm logic. Trump, in his abject stupidity, does not realize he is hurting Americans as much as Canadian, nor does he care. I would only challenge Trudeau on calling Trump 'smart' - only Trump thinks he is smart. He is a semi-literate moron.

Why does Trudeau have to make this much sense now rather than before?

Trudeau just stop the drug trafficking and both countries will not be harmed. Let's be honest, Canada needs us as much as we need them. Stop all this posturing!

Good to see Trudeau set the tone cos Mexico needs to set the same tone and the EU should be equally harsh in its terms. Trump is starting a trade war with Allies while cozying up to Putin. Putin must be laughing watching this. How much the world has changed for Putin. Trump is doing everything Putin wants and more.

Trudeau was jumping around with the west too much, that's why trump's administration wants to sit him down one place. ???

Trudeau literally resigned he needs to step down, he is responsible for much more damage to Canada than any Tarrifs. Spewing bull shit as usual

As much as I dislike Trudeau and his party I have to agree with him

You interrupt too much, let us hear what PM Trudeau has to say.

As much as I am not a fan of Trudeau, he nailed it. Our guys is a sham, an idiot and he's already begun crippling our nation financially. If you haven' t looked at your 401k, I'd suggest a peek. Mine's tanking as I write this...

Thank you so much Mr Trudeau for your strong and true words against the Kremlin's puppets who create chaos everywhere

Hey Trudeau ...\nGuess What?\nAmerica can \ndo much better\nwithout your weak\nand derelict proposals.

Why does he continue to provoke the US president? He resigned and rather step down with dignity, he chooses cause as much damage before he leaves. Justin Trudeau bears full responsibility for the burdens Canadians now face. He imposed and continually increased the carbon tax, draining the pockets of hardworking citizens while offering little in return. He neglected Canada’s NATO commitments, failing to uphold our obligations on the world stage. His tenure has been marred by repeated ethical scandals, each one a testament to his disregard for integrity in leadership. \n\nNow, as the weight of his missteps comes full circle, he faces the consequences of his own policies. The economic strain he placed on his own people is now mirrored in the tariffs and pressures from the United States—a reckoning of his own making. And even in his resignation, rather than stepping aside with dignity, he continues to provoke President Trump with baseless rhetoric, further endangering Canada’s relationship with its greatest ally. \n\nTrudeau’s legacy will not be one of progress, but of division, economic hardship, and lost opportunities. And now, he reaps what he has sown.

Proud to be Canadian. Best country in the world! Justin Trudeau much respect ? oh Canada ? ?? true, north, strong ? and free.

One man thinking about his own country and his own people has Canada begging pleading whining about it...Boo hoo! Lazy Canadian Politicians. Corrupt Crony leaders benefitting their FAMILY FRIENDS and Friends of friends, never bothered to stand Canada on its own 2 feet! TRUDEAU and his Cabinet top that list of scoundrels. Doug Ford, the chubby pillsbury man follows next and CORRUPT PENSION HOGGER JAGMEET SELLOUT SINGH , corrupt Expensive Watch Lover comes next.\nAnd look at them crying now. What a shameful circus these rascals are putting up. So much so as asking TRUMP to be banned from Canada...Thats SELLOUT JAGMEET SINGH's 3rd world politics 101.\n\nPS I am a Canadian...and an embarrassed one at that.

We'll gladly trade with you dear Canadians!\n????‍????\nAnd I sincerely hope Europe will show as much of a spine as Mr Trudeau does in this speech!

How much of this is a personality conflict between Trudeau and Trump?

You are pathetic Trudeau, your adminstration of Canada have brought havoc to the economy of your country. Instead of running to Europe to give you support to a corrupted unelected leader, a liar and a thief you forsake your responsibility to your own country. You have at least the honor to step down and it couldn't be much quicker. You aligned yourself to the 3 war mongers, Macron, Starmer and Rutte to continue the war in Ukraine. Zelensky is a comedian and managed to conned many in his scheme and you fell for it.

trudeau says Trump wants a total collapse of the Canadian economy. trudeau is so much like Trump, he worships the man, repeats every word Trump says...

Canadian here- I hate Trudeau just as much as most Canadians, and as it seems most Republican Americans do as well. But I fully stand behind him at this hour. He might have shit the bed for most Canadians during his time as PM, but when it mattered he has stood up for Canada. Review the facts and educate yourself on the current situation between CAN and the US. I will be the first to admit, Canada has not done enough in terms of its own security and military, but these failures should not be the decay in our friendship as nations. The US DOES NOT subsidize Canada, it DOES NOT give money to Canada. In simple terms- the larger country, with the largest economy in the world (USA) buys more from its Northern brother, which produces vast amounts of natural resources which the larger southern country requires. As for the booing seen at most recent sports events in Canada, that is directed at the President, not the average American. I myself would never boo a national anthem, an anthem that millions have sacrificed to protect and defend. But I understand the pain and anger that is coming from my country. We have always been allies, friends, and to most even family. I do hope that in the future our relationship can heal and move forward but the current actions being taken by the American admistration are horrendus and upsetting to most of the world outside of the US. I wish us all the best in the future, be nice to one another, and always remember that the US and Canada have fought, spilled blood, and died alongside one another in the fight for democracy and freedom around the world.

Very good summary. I will add that our I know you wanted to be concise and you nailed it. For anyone who is curious about how our politics make everything worse for us federally, let me explain it in a short time.\n\nTrudeau as of the day of this video, March 3, 2025, is STILL the PM. He said he WOULD resign once a new leader was picked through a democratic process. Right now, he's basically just doing photo ops in Ukraine, UK and anywhere else on our dime because Parliament is prorogued and the party in power, Liberal, is having a leadership race. So, while he may resign within the week once that leadership race is done, he's still technically in charge.\n\nWhat makes that race and the PM's prorogation so bad is that we're in the middle of a crisis - several actually - caused in part directly by Trudeau and his Liberals (and the NDP supporting them). The latest would be Trump's tariffs starting today, March 4, 2025. Trudeau always disappears during a crisis, leaving us to fend for ourselves - (1) COVID, he was at the cottage using every excuse not to be accountable for anything or using unconstitutional powers to crush a protest he didn't know how to handle, (2) Chinese spies, he's ignoring our intelligence service, (3) federal worker strike, he's in NYC at some gala.... I could go on but there's a reason we're hurting so bad.\n\nWe have zero federal leadership, and a federal government that makes things worse for us with things like: over-regulation, subsidizing media to keep us misinformed, nerfing select natural resource sectors but favoring others (oil and gas suffer, while coal is fine... probably because we sell it to China, but I digress), letting criminal out of jail, uncontrolled immigration, passing policies like the FHSA that drive home prices higher and higher, and of course, more and more taxes. I could go on about the billions in taxpayers' money the government blows - it's like a black hole - or the fact that MPs keep getting raises - April 1 is their fifth since COVID - and most federal and government employees are all getting raises at a time when the rest of us are learning to get by with less and less because we're taxed so much and housing, groceries, etc. are so unaffordable.\n\nI have applied for US citizenship. I want to stick around to fix Canada, but I think it's too far gone. We have too many socialists/communists in power and they're not getting voted out any time soon. It's been fun Canada, it's been fun.

Outsider here: How much longer is Trudeau going to be PM?

These Canadians have so much of hatred for Americans so why are they sending people or coming here to the U.S? Where is Trudeau the nutcase? Hope & pray that the Trump administration take quick measures & send them back to Canada.

WHY IS CANADA NOT 'VETTING' THESE PEOPLE COMING IN ON FLIGHTS??? IN IMMIGRATION?? TRUDEAU IS NOT DOING MUCH FOR THE BORDER. HE PUT IN A DESK BORDER TZAR WHO IS NOT GOOD AT THIS JOB. AND TRUDEAU IS NOT PUTTING MONEY ON THIS FOR 3 YEARS!! THE DRONES WERE CHINESE MADE AND TRUMP GOT PISSED. SO THERE ARE A 'FEW' HELICOPTER AND NO EXTRA 'MEN' ................... I AM IN ONTARIO!! I HAVE MANY LINKS!! NUMBERS ARE SKEWED! YOU CAN'T LEGALLY APPLY FOR ASYLUM FROM A 'SAFE' COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am a white Canadian have family and friends in the USA and I tried to move to the usa back in the early 2000's because I had a job could not do it because I was not allowed but it seems if you are other then white it is so much easier and everyone said I should go now because Trudeau is a dictator and that I am a law abiding Conservative that wants to leave Canada because our PM is nothing but a POS Liberal that is robbing the hard working real Canadians and cutting us off of having a good job because of DEI. They want blacks and browns to have all the high paying jobs while the rest of us get shafted into working for Min Wage or a little bit above while we get taxed to death. and if you look at all the homeless in Canada it's all white people and nothing but it's like the scumbag Liberals want the whites to live homeless or just scrapping to get by below the poverty line. It's really sad that this Country is going this way and wish Trump would come here and just clean out the liberals and Woke POS and send them to live on some abandon Island allong with the criminal Illegals because I am so sick of the BS. The Illegals are taking right over and they are the ones that are killing the people off with the drugs too.

Gee, and people are so dumbfounded why Trump is so adamant about pushing Trudeau so hard with tarriffs and insisting he help out with the borded on the Canadian border. We have no issues with Canaadians. America has issues with Trudeau. I sincerely hope that Canadians are able to dump Trudeau for a much better option in March. I think based on my limited knowledge of Canadian politics, that Poliviere is their best choice. I think he would work very well with Trump and both countries would benefit heavily.

It’s not the migrates that are the worst thing coming out of Canada it’s the money being laundered from the Mexican cartels pumping fentanyl into the United States that’s why Trudeau’s in so much trouble

An entire country hating so much it continues to reelect a total shallow idiot like Trudeau - they get what the vote for and the end result is poverty by design. Wake up Canadians and make better choices.

Indian is too big of the population, does not matter how much benefit or money Trudeau believed india government can bring to canada, with the fact of now, canada ECONOMY is hopeless, liberals stop being selfish and play dumbie, true canadian will appreaciate ya all

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

The presenter looks so much like Trudeau!

Dumb move, Trudeau. Trump doesn't fear measured responses; he's not a normal person. He only understands if you hit him back much harder than he hits you. \nCanada should NOT impose retaliatory counter tariffs that harm CANADIANS (Or do like China and impose 75% Tariffs on US items Canada can easily buy elsewhere). Rather, Canada should shut the OIL spigot and cancel electric feeds into the USA. RIGHT NOW. THAT would have the required effect and NOT HARM Canadians.

Let Trudeau stay if Canadians are so proud of him. Trump is bringing back conservatism, resilience, hard work and merits back into US culture. And its no doubt conservative people can bear hardship far much more than woke people.\n1 week into the tarrifs when the reality hits hard, Canada would be on the streets. Negotiate before the tarrifs kick off... This fight would be counter productive for both sides, but Canada would suffer 10 times more.

Trudeau (canada) has been with EU since taking office!!! and treats Americans Like is a milk cow as much like EU!!! ;))

Indians are mostly hard working nice people. But there is to much incitement against them coming from government despite the only problems in Canada are from islamists that Trudeau brought by millions, gave them billions on housing and billions of non refundable loans for businesses and now doing everything to hide all terror and crime that coming from them.

There is so much misunderstanding about the immigration: people believe we take too many immigrants, while in fact we need to maintain this level of immigrants per year for several years to address the labor shortage in the coming years as baby boomers are retiring...\n\nPeople believe that immigrants cause property values to rise and it is Trudeau's fault. Well, Australia has high sky property values, is very similar to Canada but doesn't have Trudeau. Yet the property values are sky high.\n\nSame is for Healthcare: compare UK or France. These countries don't have Trudeau but their Healthcare has deteriorated since COVID.

Justin Trudeau and Singh killed it. Both of them. Singh is just as much at fault as Trudeau and don’t you forget that voters.

Justin Trudeau will never help the US now that we have this much needed conservative culture shift. He's a woke cuck. ??????

He seemed pretty reasonable, actually. They're really not asking much. Just reign in the freaking open borders immigration policy that Trudeau has implemented. Jeez.

For gods sake Vassey. Don’t attribute your misinformation to Canadians. You listen to the current govt too much. Our immigration policy has been doors wide open to the Trudeau liberals.

This is all bull shit an advertisement! Today's live in Canada under Just-In Trudeau is expensive, and it is trend to expel immigrants, as they cost too much to support! Quebec STOPED taking immigrants! WHY!!!

Trudeau supporters would have called you a bigot or a Russian asset for posting this video on uncontrolled immigration during a housing, homelessness and healthcare crisis. They started to realize name calling wasn't working anymore since data is much more superior. They blame everyone else now instead of holding accountability. They refuse to believe it was done intentionally by the Liberal government so corporations can keep wages low and landlords can keep rent high. Anyone who thinks brining in a million people during a crisis, needs their head examined. Trudeau posted a pathetic apology video on his horrible decisions. The comments on it are telling and the best part.

Millions of Canadians were duped by JT and the Liberals. ITs easier to con a group of people than to get them to admit that they were lied to. My answer : create an online income and leave for a cheaper country to live in. Why would anyone want to live here other than they do not have a choce. Housing is way out of reach , taxes on top of other taxes, inflation so high its created the highest food bank use I have ever seen. Trudeau created his own great depression right here just for you to enoy. So much insanity. It will take decades to recover. from this. When people become homeless their life exceptancy drops very fast. . I am leaving for either Mexico, Thailand , Ecuador, and or Malaysia.The cold has made the majority of Canadians Braindead. What is the reason for staying. ?
