This also gives boarder officers on the Canadian side a chance to catch illegals in Canada.

Why is this controversial? I wish they would do that in Canada also

Question to you Mr Prime Minister is this, why did you wait till Trump resumed before taking measures to curb this drug inflow? Why should the Americans trust these measures? Would these measures be sustained? Why should America trust you? Also, why did the Democrats and biden take action? I stand with trump and I guess you two leaders should meet on this again to relax the trade war.

Bro this Trudeau guy is savage! We need more leaders like this also in Europe! Merz seems to be just like him, wish we had this also in Italy.

Lol, the arrogance. Justine is resigning because his people hate him and they are suffering from his leadership. Trump just got re-elected again and has an approval rating higher than ever. Why would Trump listen to a guy who is a failed leader about his leadership style? Justina is just illustrating that not only is he a failure and loser but also a narcissist

I believe and respect President Trump! Also thank you Mr Elon Musk for doing a great job.God bless both of you.

well it's honorable, but also a bit wasted trying to present facts to those coconuts from the soviet states of america.

Well spoken, President Trudeau, as an American I also believe this was uncalled for and the American people will suffer with inflation and unnecessary pain:(

From South Africa here and we are also victims of Trumps dimentia

As a Dutch citizen, I also want a PM like this. How do we get one of these instead of forgetting PM, and PM without having any say in his cabinet or a Harry Potter look a like?

I wish someone would also offer a word of support for China, which has been enduring the United States' bullying for at least eight years...

Also, gosh.. Canadian politicians are good looking. Look at those faces we have in the States ?

mr. trudeau and im being polite your the reason for this mess, for being a complete incompetetive leader for the past 9 years and i also blame the canadian people for being so stupid because of your name reelected you twice. mr. trump had a vendetta against for you being a two face leader.

The United States has elected a president who is turning its longest-standing allies into adversaries. This isn't just about Canada. The entire Western world is watching. While the U.S. has the power to harm its allies, those allies also have the ability to push back, and the USA is rapidly losing friends who may not return. As America’s alliances weaken, so do the obstacles its rivals face. \n\nTake Australia, for example. Should it continue aligning with the U.S. in the Asia-Pacific region? Should it continue hosting critical American surveillance infrastructure? Should it keep supporting and supplying the U.S. fleet? The USA enjoys a trade surplus with us, but do we need to spend USD$50 billion over the next decade buying your hardware? The Europeans seem to be a more trustworthy ally, who don't make us a target.\n\nThe USA would argue that their presence ensures security, but the reality is that countries like Australia only face threats because they are tied to U.S. strategic interests. Perhaps a more pragmatic approach that avoids unnecessary antagonism with China would serve us better. \n\nAs for Canada, it will adapt and find new trading partners, just as Australia did when China attempted economic coercion. And through it all, Canada, know that Australia will stand with you—always.

From Australia \nSome valid points made whilst also leaving out some important details.\nRe fentanyl - this stronger enforcement and detection strategy should have been In place years ago and should not have taken the threat of tariffs to take this action.

I love this! Because Donald Trump is the hugest piece of shit I have ever supported. If my country buys from you and you also sell to me, then why impose tariffs on me? Simple! I slap you back.

trudeau is proven a back stabber in many diplomacy. canada is never a fair country but slave to US master. They obey all US demands even has fake democracy. Under US order, canada imprisoned or held anyone who are innocent and has nothing against canadian law. trudeau isnt polite but too rude with calling other murderous dictator when he is also a real proven dictator. Has he forgotten canada has murdered, colonize, terrorize, destroy, plunder, rob, bullt, gangster other countries too with US master. Shame on trudeau incompetence and still talk rubbish till today.

Good morning ma, I am a very big fans of yours and as you keep enlightening us about the japa system may the Lord bless you too and ma I want to know if I can be grant a study visa with my father’s surname been (AKINPELU) while on my Waec was ( AKINPELUMI) the mistake was the (MI) so what name should I put on my passport ma. Also how do I get the japa system book

Trudeau is a clown. This is a guy who thwarts free speech and jailed his own people and took their money away during peaceful protests. Canada has enjoyed a a trade surplus against us forever. They also do not have to pay for military since they are right next to us. They should be doing whatever we want. Canada was sending recyclable trash to the Philippines. When the trash arrived it was not recyclable. Philippine president said stop sending but Canada continued to send it. So finally he said if you send one more ship, we will declare no war on you. And if that happened, without US help, even the Philippines would destroy Canada in a war. Way more fighting aged males and Canada has a worthless military. Canada has a GDP of 5-10% of US. So Trudeau acting tough is hilarious. Like a chihuahua barking at a grisly bear. If push came to shove, in the time of US war need, the US would simply take whatever it wanted from Canada. That's what happens when you don't develop your own substantial military-just like Europe now.

Trump weakenes the USA by breaking alliances.\nThe USA is strong (also military) because the USA has military bases all over the world at their alliance states.\n\nIdk why Trump would weaken the US on purpose, only to earn more money. Thats insane.

Justin Trudeau has just become my big person for standing up to the aggressor. There's no way certainly Trump says Russia did not invade Ukraine. Also, no land is being stolen in SA. Again, why the beef with Canada?

This guy's own people don't want him. Also what about the tariffs Canada already has in place against the USA

Heck! What is problems USA have with Canada??!! If I remember correctly, the last time he was president, he also do it.!!!!!

I don't believe everything Justin says but what he said about Canadians is very true, they are very polite people but they are also strong when it comes to a fight. Canadians are nice until they can't be nice anymore than they turn into warriors and brave fighters. If you don't believe me check the Canadian hockey lol very tough to deal with.

Dude. We get Trump is done but we also get you’re dumb af too.

From Texas, Trump is acting like a 5-year-old child. Canada has always been our closest ally; these tariffs are a slap in the face that will harm not only working class American, but it also spits on generations of close friendship and trust between our countries. This is lunacy. I pray for all of our Canadian friends and for all Americans.

Also (second comment) -- I wouldn't think it's unlikely to say that the point of this IS to impact the stock market. I will never know, but I would love to see who buys what stocks while the market is down. Which insiders purchase what? And then -- what, of those purchases (crypto or otherwise), soars when all of this gets resolved (because it will)?

All non MAGA Americans should also boycott liquor from red states to show our solidarity

Canada isn’t America’s closest friend ? That’s the United Kingdom (also a left wing hellhole)

Ontario and Quebec are threatening to shut down electricity exports which supplies the entire North-Eastern grid, along with oil refinery products out of Sarnia. There is also the likelihood of a 15-25% export tax on oil exports out of the mid-west, which the government will feed back to companies to help with cashflow. Ontario, as the world's largest buyer of Kentucky whiskey and California wine, have already stopped those imports and striped the shelves bare. Canadian consumers are boycotting US products faster than a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light commercial. Snowbirds spending their money down south next winter? Nope they are going to the Caribbean instead.

As a Canadian, we are collectively embarrassed of this clown, he is the single least popular PM in Canadian history, he had to step down as a result of his scandals (also the most in Canadian history) as well as his radical unpopularity. He’s a goof.

If Canada is such a great friend of the US, then why have they not paid their NATO bill or manned their borders? Also, if Canada feels that the US is being unfair or not great friends and allies, then wy the public temper tantrum. Go find new friends build new alliances. Dear Canadians you are a sovereign nation. JT says you will fight? Why? The US is also a sovereign nation and has a right to be friends with any country. Yes, including Russia. Isnt that what you claimed when Russia invaded the Ukraine? Ukraine could be friends with anyone and did not give Russia the rigt to invade.

Everyone forgets that Canadians are also Americans. Those specific people are United Staters who are also called Americans.? Brazilians are also Americans who are southwest.

Trump and Maga are like any crazy regime, absolutely full of magical thinking and not based in reality. So 2+2 = 6 and if you don’t agree, you hate America. Average Americans are expected to believe that a bunch of billionaires and companies that have been robbing them blind for 40 years will now have their backs because they are actually in government instead of just pulling the strings from the sides. Or because they trigger the right people on the Internet. . I also hate how every leader in the world has to pay some kind of false reverence to Trump even though they all know he’s nuts out of some kind of decorum. Just want somebody with balls to get up and say fuck him and fuck his lunacy. And shove your decorum up your arse because Trump doesn’t have any. It’s about time you realise what you’re dealing with and pull the gloves off. Playing nice and nice and reasonable is only playing into his hands.

The dayTrudeau remembered he was Canadian and not US lapdog ? but don’t be fooled he is also a lying murderous asshole supporting US proxy wars and the gen-0-cide in Gaza .

Don't forget Trump is also a dictator.... power and money that's all

But isn't Trudeau also killing Canada as well???

Lots of emotional response here. I also feel that Canadians are our brothers and sisters of the USA. But removing the emotion, Canada isn't holding the cards. This nonsense will hurt Canada far more than the US.

As a Canadian, I would like to thank every people from the USA against this madness from the Pumpkin Clown, Vancy the puppy, Lutnick the Dwarf and their circus crew. Thanks also to everyone else around the world also against this madness. As for the stupid ones supporting Trump... who cares about you? You're all low IQs and vain anyways. *LET'S STAND STRONG AGAINST TRUMP AND HIS CIRCUS!*

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

I’m glad to see they, the Prime Minister & Doug Ford, is also teaching the red states (MAGA voters) some hard lessons here.

For all the Canadians looking to visit the USA we have no one running the parks lol ? everyone is fired ? also I’m sure this will hurt Canada ?? more than US unfortunately

This is not anti-American, it is just fighting back from an unnecessary trade war. It does however break my heart because many Canadians have family on the U.S. side. I know it would also break my father’s heart as he grew up in New England and had a lifetime affection for the U.S. I despise politics and have not been a proud Canadian for a few years but I have to admit that this speech is getting me going again. Canada needs to get its act together and rebuild its military, not to fend off the U.S. but to hold its own should other countries decide we are ripe for the picking. I want U.S.-Canada relations to be tight again. We’re neighbor. We will have our disagreements and that’s fine but these trade wars will hurt everyone and, if it lasts, may leave lasting grievances.

Mr Trudeau world also knows how you talk & not walk \nAlso you often do not cover topic comprehensively \nTrump is doing the right thing for his country \nIn fact majority voted for him on his assurances he will hit back these who hitting USA

I ain’t going to deny that Donald should be named Dumbnald from now on. It is also undeniable that senile dementia hits the hardest to certain kind of guys, based on the way they’ve whacked their life with all kinds of excesses

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

I will pray for Canada ?? ?? I also pray for people in USA ?? We all will suffer by the hands of Trump and Musk. We voted for Kamala. We did not want him. ??????

If Canadians are failing to stop drugs then evan Americans are also failing to stop it !

Fentanyl helped my mom with cancer pain. Then she got better and stopped taking it. Fentanyl sounds great to me. How many other issues does he Kev have need to be removed from the face of the earth that also help us. Not the speech of a thinker.

Please rephrase to Donald Trump launched a trade war with Canada. This is his doing and not all people of United States voted for him. We are also a victim of his delusions. God help us all. ??
