His best advice is “comply” he said bring taxes and proof of bank accounts. Just don’t go, they don’t want anybody there anyway, not even their own citizens.

As somebody born and raised in Canada I’ve always said it was kinda of ironic that a country that was founded by colonizing Indians is getting re-colonized by different Indians

Justin struck the nail on the head at the very end of his speech remarking on they’re “oponants” having them exactly where they want them. He said this referring to Putins latest tactic, which is to (devide and conquer.) While the US, Canada, the UK and Europe are bickering about tariffs only god knows what Putins up to in the meantime.

Well said, Justin. ?

I congratulate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on his perfect presentation. He said it all! My Canadian friends, you have a Prime Minister worthy of your people, bravo! Much love from Switzerland.

Pretty easy to say strong things when you'll be out in a few days and the next leader can distance themselves from what Trudeau has said. Glad he said it though.

He said to the American people it’s bs bc us civilians can’t control what executive orders get passed like that’s threatening us civilians in our own country get out of here don’t say that u can do something to us

He is thinking of both citizens as an ally and good neighbor! Real leader right there! As they said, when elephants fights, grass suffers!

Well said, Mr. Trudeau.

Aristotle said only tyrants prefer migrants over their citizens , trudeau is a tyrant and nothing he says can be believed.

People who said they will leave the country are still here??? bloody hypocrites dems are?

Well said!

Lmao you guys should see what the MP of perth said about trump. Not saying i like him, but damn he was right for that ?

Bien joué. At the very least, Monsieur Trudeau looks like the leader of a nation. The same can't be said for someone in outdated, baggy suits, button undone, tie too long, glowing like a sultana, topped off by a tacky baseb@ll cap.

I almost thought for a second maybe he’s just addressing the us as a whole and our political figures, but then he said “your government is doing this to you” and he couldn’t be more right. I’m ashamed to be American. This is my ancestors country. I no longer want to be American.

So amazing! Well said!!!!!

Well said Mr. Tredeau!

Canadian people are just amazing and well said prime minister Trudeau.

I don't think what he said was strong enough this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity can some one explain what has driven the US to shit on its friends and allies and pivot towards Russia, North Korea and what Reagan calmed the evil empires is this what MAGA really wanted because rather than make America great its going to make it a banana Republic I mean wurhough nukes that is what Russia has proven to be. If the US can do this to Canada can any former Allie trust the US they now will all wonder when the Bagman will visit seeking Donald's protection money ? this isn't dumb this is absolute stupidity and if its a planned strategy the end game seems diabolical if not Criminal ?

Well said F M

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

Canada responding puts Canada in a worse position. \n Canada not helping in the fight against fentanyl is obviously false, that being said the mass Immigration policy of Justen trued has made it easy for cartels' to smuggle in narcotics, not only that but the immigrants cause waves of crime, rippling from generation to generation. which hurts Canadians quite a bit. Immigration from the US to Canada would not hurt Canadians as much as from all the third world countries that they currently have their immigration system setup to accept. \nCanada's official statistics for narcotics coming in cannot be trusted. there is the fact that when someone is caught with narcotics they don't actually get to bring in those drugs. \nCanada's border is also entirely bypassed by plane so it doesn't matter how strong they make their borders.\nthe best response to the tariffs would be to remove all those god awful restrictions put in place on Canadian enterprise.

Im not even an american but i know what trump is doing, all Americans who believe justin and what he is saying about trade war and he said usa will lose doesn't understand how things work.. You really believed your government didn't study this?

Well said ?

PM Trudeau has balls!\nVery well said sir.

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.

These CNN reporters are just repeating words already said and adding nothing to the conversation, it is comical to listen to.

Not a very good speech. Over 90% of drug traffic reduction in 1 month, which really proves what Trump said. US official knows that significant reduction, yet, they still impose the tariff. Why will you still spend so much money to help America if they do not appreciate? Grow a pair!!!

Well said Justin Trudeau tell him Trump & that pathetic administration of his how it is

Trudeau was right when he said it was dumb. The US tariffs are simply about bringing America to its knees and destroying America. That is why the country is being recklessly run. The idea is to destroy the American way of life and America. Have you seen a 3rd world country run. The fighting and the division in the 3rd world country? The events over the past weeks are not about efficiency. 1 worker doing 15 people's jobs. Who is running the government? Tariffs are one more thing to destroy America. US government federal workers all let go, paying government employees pennies on the dollars and lying to the American public about efficiency, farmers and textile workers that voted are stranded without jobs, social security being destroyed, programs being destroyed, Americans being lied to, Americans being taken advantage of due to poor knowledge and education, education being taken away and putting un-elected immigrants/foreigners to run/destroy America. Yes, the Tariffs are one more thing to put Americans in the street, turn off their electricity, take away their heating system, and make America into a poor 3rd world country. Trudeau and Canada are protecting its workers - federal and private and yes, all of Canada. Canada is United. Americans better find Unity like the Canadians are doing versus worrying about who voted Red or Blue.

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!

well said sir. love from england. that liar trump does,nt live in a dream world, he lives in a nightmare world

Trudeau said this is going to be hard on america. We will see?!!!!!?

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.

I like when he said, “Now let me talk to one American, Donald”

Love him or hate him, this was great and what a master class level troll. \n1. No reference to “president” \n2. Called him Donald, which trump hates\n3. Said what he was doing was dumb\n4. Spoke in super simple language - notice how he dummied right down when addressing trump

Excellent, thank you, Justin Trudeau! Well said! ❤

Well said!

I like how he said everything has never been safer and more secure, yet pledges billions to solve the problem

Hmm, i disagree with one thing he said Trump is certainly and definitely not smart, WTF!....why wld anyone say that???

Well Said Mr. Trudeau ???

It's laughable to watch Trudeau stand there and try and talk tough since he's usually just a mealy-mouthed spineless loser, but something had to be done and said and at least this time he appears to be standing up for Canada which is a first for him.

Well said by the prime minister!

Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.

Never a truer word said. Good on this real man. Trumps in bed with a wanted war criminal for mass child abuse and murder. Trump is pond life like the USA now.

Well said. What companies and products can we, as American consumers, buy from to show our support of Canada?

Well said Justin

Great speech by Trudeau (other than one point: about the Orange Sphincter being a smart guy). Trudeau was authentic and eloquent and very angry. Good for Trudeau for articulating so well what so many people think, and what needs to be said. The Orange Sphincter can barely string 2 coherent words together. YAAAAAY TRUDEAU ??

As a Mexican/American citizen, I stant with you Canada ?? ❤??.\nWell said !!!! We love you!! So sad what is happening to the whole world is such a short time for a .... person.?

Castros illegitimate child just said US tariffs will hurt Anericans... then this moron implements tariffs on US goods....guess what moron that will then hurt your people and economy ? libtard logic ...oh and hes on tje way out so we care what he says...yeah not at all ?...canada makes me laugh
