Did he admit he entered a country illegally?

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

Is the 1 percent flow of fentanol & 1 percent illegal crossings from Canada that Trudeau is talking about - is that a fact during Trump's presidency? What's the number during Biden's time? If it was high, then the Trudeau gov't is complicit with these criminals and illegal immigrants.

I wonder if we might make a shortcut in policy + create a border wall between New York City and the rest of the country. We could bus all the illegal aliens in the Northeast to New York City and let them have sanctuary there. Then just keep the whole glorious mess in the buroughs. Cut off all federal funding + let them live in the problems of their own making. Many New Yorkers act as though the world doesn't exist outside of the boroughs anyway.

Stem the flow of migrants? Who the hell is illegally migrating from Canada to the US? \n\nFU Donald. You lying POS!

Make that make sense! I couldn't have said it any better. Trudeau was never my favorite person in politics, but this latest stand against the tyrant that is just south of our great country! His justification for his tariff fantasy is the trade of fentinyl across the border and the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. As Trudeau has stated, paraphrasing a well known and respected publication, the Wall Street Journal, that this is a very DUMB move! That is an understatement. This is clearly not about drugs or illegal immigrants, it never was. Trump is supposed to be smart? This latest revelation proves otherwise. Just look at how they treated Zelensky during his last visit to the oval office. That showed a complete lack of respect! I fear we are in for a dismal for years!

I almost completely support everything he says. My problem comes with his comments on Fentanyl. Please, this medication is a game changer for so many suffering daily in agony with chronic pain or deadly conditions. For those who need it medically, it is strictly controlled and monitored. Fentanyl is “eaten” by pain, so for those who need it there is no high, just relief.\nThose on it legally already have to deal with a great amount of prejudice, being treated as addicts and dealers when they are just trying to find a way to survive immense pain everyday. This medication allows them to get out of bed, to attend school or work, to have a life. It gives them hope and relief. \nThe opioid crisis is real, but those on a prescription are not the cause. Canada already has some of the strictest protocols in the world for this medication, leaving many people in agony as they loose access to it. \nDon’t take away something that is saving them. The drug is not wrong, those selling it illegally are in the wrong.

Nice Trudeau spent billions on tightening the border for drugs and illegals. They cant even do anything with rash of car thieves going on in Toronto. Cars get stolen goes to the shipyard to be put in cargos to be sent to Middle East or Africa. They reduse to do search warrant or halt those shipments. Waste of billion of dollars on borders.

Illegal PM of Canada ?

What about all the illegal immigrants working in the USA and the prisons for profit workers?

The ‘golden age’ is tarnished now and forever. He is not yet a king, it I bet he has some illegal plan n the works

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.

So, suddenly Canada is suddenly now arresting these fentanyl gangs in large numbers, spending money on defense and patrolling the borders for illegal immigrants with helicopters and ground troops. Why now ? Because Captain Schmuck here had his sorry arse kicked by President Trump. Canada is effectively bankrupt and have been kept alive by the U.S. umbilical cord, and Trump knows that it has to stop as it is simply pouring good money after bad. Our government knew about these tariffs since the beginning after Trump’s election, and what have they done? Zip, zero, nada because they simply have no clue how to deal with it, but to throw the toys out of the cot. That is hopefully set to change soon and, with a proper government in place, then we can start real negotiations.

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

What about all the illegal drugs trump and musk uses

CBSA confiscated tons of cocaine at our border that comes from the USA and last year 8600 illegal guns. The US is our source of toxic drugs and guns

Love it. Trudeau is clearly stating publicly that the tariffs are not legal, because the ‘fentanyl’ excuse by your oligarch is not valid and in fact illegal.

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

Trudeau control your borders, you have no cards, have nothing compared to the USA... You chose the Tariff Match didn't you now... IF you had 'border' control in place, you wouldn't be able to spend 1 Billion dollars, and you wouldn't be acting just days ago... And yes Since Trump was Elected, border crossings lessened because illegals know they better get with it. Has nothing to do with you Trudeau. ANd you do sugar coat, well lie, about everything. Oh, and Dems don't have your backs. They are busy freaking out right now. lol

Do what you gotta do Canada. I fear half of my country unfortunately needs to learn the hard way. It's horrible that it will take a while until it hits the people who are being foolish and it will first hit people that aren't necessarily in alignment with the current administration.\n\nOur president expects that this illegal tariff (there's no emergency,) will be enough to scare you into some sort of sound byte that will stroke his precious ego. Do not give in. Don't let nonsensical bully-like actions win.

Well. Based ON THEIR WORD Trump paused the tariffs because of promises made ...... Just like Mexico they said they would secure their borders to help stop the flow if illegal immigrants, drugs, gangs and terrorists into the USA... THEY DID NOT. China did nothing to crack down on fentanyl being smuggled out of their country (although I think they would rather see American people die of overdoses. When Trump says he going to do something he does it.. no more Biden woosie politics.

Trump did this so he could say he did it, then take credit for your Canadian efforts for reducing illegal drug trafficking that led up to the numbers quoted in Trudeau speech. Trump is fake President….a wolf in black sheep wool.

Make Canada Great always.\nBe united. \nGod has bellesed Canada with maximum natural resources in this beautiful world, including beautiful hearts of its people.\nThis temted your Close friend America to make you 51st state.\nWhy canadian people have to cross over to america illegally.\nStop dancing on the tune of American leaders.\nhistory shows that Canada always stands with America.

Friends dont let illegal immigrants carry deadly drugs in to there so called friends home. We dont need friends, like that! We voted for strong leader! And Trump is our President Elect!

Equality in protecting each other is a must. Mexico and Canada haven’t stopped illegal drugs from coming into their countries which then comes to the USA. Need to beef up your ports and international airports. Your border is safe because of the USA.

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

TURDO, ur border is NOT secured, illegals walk across ur border, and u let illegals fly into Canada and invade America from your border. Your a liar.

All Trump has been asking for all along is for Canada & Mexico to DO THEIR PART in stemming the illegal immigration and Fentanyl from crossing into the United States. Nearly 100,000 Americans die each year from Fentanyl overdoses. The raw ingredients come from China and into their respective nations, where they are processed and made into Fentanyl, then brought into the U.S. Neither nation has taken Trump seriously and Biden didn't give a crap and actually assisted with bringing in more of everything. Now both nations get to deal with the results of their inactions. Remember, these are reciprocatory tariffs to simply equal what American goods are charged by Canada & Mexico already. NOW everyone is on an equal playing field. If these nations want lower tariffs, they can go first and then the U.S. will match it to theirs... It's that simple.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .

Trump is going to go onstage tonight and lie about why the tariffs on Canada. We have done nothing to deserve this. One percent of fentanyl and one percent of illegal immigrants come from Canada into the USA. We give America a huge deal on oil. Trump lies about this to justify the tariffs. We did act on our border not just because trump demanded it but because it needed to be done. Still the tariffs came. He is a bully and a disgusting human being and I am sad that our friendship with the USA is over. He is putting Americas at risk and screwing his own farmers. We will not stand for this

Now Canada gets to feel how other sanctioned or tariffed countries feel...Fentanyl or illegal immigration are just an excuse if Canada stiill doesn't get it by now ???\nCan Canada please have some dignity and stop this BFF nonsense...

This doesnt bother me. Im pretty sure Canada already Tarrifs US products. And Mr. Trudeau has some incorrect information on the illegal percentages along with fentyal statistics. something along the lines of 30% comes across from the Canadian border.

He'll be crying to Trump on the phone begging for a solution, this is just a facdae. He will promise to do more regarding the illegal immigration and the flow of fentanyl and 2 weeks later the tariffs will be lifted

He talks as if there's no trade imbalance. Us goods going into canada at a higher rate. A good neighbor doesn't allow fentanyl and illegals into our country. The usa does not need canada. The usa is the third largest in population. The usa is its own ecosystem. The usa needs nothing from canada. I stand with President Trump and Made in USA.

You open the gates for illegals from Canada to usa everyone has seen videos. Taxis plying between New York and Canada border.. nothing matters other than protecting the sancity of borders of the country..That the only reason president trump had advantage on democrats and now people of Canada should also take a decision about u r leadership as u made ur country home of khalistani terrorist and Hindu RSS fanatics

Liberals supported the attempted assassination of Trump. They have persecuted him in the courts and tried twice to impeach him. They've attacked his family, including his wife and son.\n\nLiberals have left the American border open to Illegals, Drugs and Human Trafficking that Americans pay for in housing, feeding, law enforcement and the fraudulent aid programs that finance them\n\nTrump is retaliating by uncovering and exposing all of it! If he's targeting the Commonwealth of Britain, known as Canada, then it could also be tied to the Epstein Investigations and release of names that is coming.\n\nThis is not over. More to come?

Just the fact that 100% of the illegal drugs and guns in Canada come from the states and no Canadian politicians blame US for it shows how humble Canadians are ?

What is happening now only person who should be blamed is biden and Democrats if they have not gone crazy for their love for illegals. This would have never happened,many people never had anyother option but to vote. for trump because their main reason was illegal immigration.??

And there's nothing we Americans can do about it because the clowns that Republicans elected are working against their own constituents because they are afraid of an ignorant narcissist who is manipulating the government completely for his interests and out of revenge for those who indicted him for all his illegal activity. He continues to skate above the law.

Why Canada does not admit, the border is out of control from Canada to USA. Not even one percent trucks are physically checked. Canada thrives on Illegal aliens for vote bank. Governor Trudeau is doing a terrible job for Canada.

Protect the borders from illegals and fetynal, us Americans dont want it. Youve allowed it

Trump and Vance are traitors and puppets of Putin. This disgraceful, unwarranted behavior is only happening to create the false impression of stopping illegal drugs entering the US, WHILE SYSTEMATICALLY LOOTING THE US TREASURY ON BEHALF OF THE OLIGARKS AND CORPORATE THIEVES WHO ARE BANKROLLING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

tRump and Elon are holding the country hostage and taking all it's wealth and the MAGAT's are cheering, soon they will pay more for groceries, gas, homes and just about everything. the stock market are plummeting and they are cheering and loosing their jobs because of DOGe, Canada need to fight back (and we will) even harder and make the red states pay against their products and services and farmers, it's not against the american people but the illegal tariffs, stay strong ??

Trump has been using fear mongering rants and exaggerations all along to get supporters to believe it. Biden had more illegals deported than Trump ever did. Biden had record jobs and record low unemployment. Trump's a SOCIOPATH and pathological liar who is now siding with Putin. Trump's Dismantled everything he can to create Chaos and will eventually say the protests require Martial Law. Trump's the Arsonist and the Firefighter. Trump wants Dominance like Putin and Xi Jinping, they're his Heroes. Get a clue and stop the INSANITY.

My fellow Americans have never had a king before. We were lucky for a very long time. Things are going to become catastrophic. I stand with Canada and the Ukraine, always. Even when he makes saying that illegal (which will come soon).

The problem Mr. Trudeau...is that 50% of Americans will never hear your common sense arguments and plea for working together because of Fox News and a couple sites called Truth Social and X. They will only hear that Trump says you are treating us unfairly and that illegal fentanyl is an issue. It's a made up issue. This is what Trump does.

Making an enemy of Trump is not going to work. Trudeau has no way of knowing who is coming here illegally. Our border is far too gigantic and mostly unguarded. Secure the border and Trump will back off. Your second choice will be 3rd world war. If you think Putin is going to go backwards on this you are mistaken. The Russians have invested the lives of thousands of their children so far. You don't seem to understand how dangerous a game you are playing. You are naive Trudeau and leading us to the brink of hell.
