I thought trump would be different this time around. I was really hoping for his success, but not more than two months into his presidency he fired the very people that voted for him around the board. He crashed the stock market. He became Putins puppet, and he showed the world what a bully is like.

Donald, in his whole time as a 'leader' (which he clearly isn't) never ever was able to even close hold a speach like this. And he never will be. He is just not a smart man. This decision was a big big mistake. Thanks to Mr. Trudeau for standing up against this characterless BULLY. The Canadians must be so proud of you. I just hope Mexico ( and all the rest of us 'willing countrys') will do the same. I do feel sorry for all the american people who saw this coming and have to suffer now. I hope this all ends well. Sending blessings from Germany.

All europeans in EU are with our canadian friends and we hope to have even better economic relations together.??❤??

I think if there was ever a war in Canada, I hope at half the Americans would be on our side. I hope we get past this and we can be great cousins again but for now elbows up Canada we got this.

The decadence... I am biased here surely, but I just have learned to hate decadence from big man in the picture. I didn't see or hear anything wrong with what he said. It's not the message, I don't want to say it's the messenger, so I'll stick with blaming the decadence. I hope everything sorts out for the better for both nations, of course... As the ones who will feel it most again, will be the common broke Joe like my gracious self and the rest of gen pop.

Great speech. I hope the respectable part of the world will not give in to the ill that´s going on in the USA

Can not watch this enough. I hope europe and canada can find new ways to work together. We should see this as a chance and not let Trump and Putin compromise the free world.

I feel bad for the Americans , they put him there to be their President as they are hoping to have a better life . I’m sure some who voted for him now have the regrets as they didn’t expect that to him . I love that Canadian President he has a good state of mind thinking what is best for his country . He wanted to end the war between Ukraine and Russia but he is starting his own war , ridiculous ?

Many Americans are so sorry for F45's behavior and lies. We hope you forgive us when this poor excuse is gone.

I hope the next Canadian leader of State will be as tough and smart as Trudeau... He is not taking any crap from the Don.

Too bad it came to pass, hopefully effects will quickly motivate a reversal :((

This brought me to tears I hope trump can back down and I wish our own government would stand up for us like Canadas

Bravo Justin/Liberals ! I so hope Americans learn from this and elect a smart man like Bernie, who's warned us about this stuff for years. We could have thriving economies again. Voting for the right candidate is simple folks... If they're stinking rich already, they're working for the man, not you! ?& ⭐

<standing ovation>. As a European who saw hope in Trump, I don't know what is happening, but this is a different leader than he was 4 years ago, what happened? Alliance < Russia? Bravo Canada, you are a great country

friends dont tax friends on imported goods the media fails to realize these are retaliation tariffs from trump we didn't start the trade war they did and i hope their economy collapses because of it

I hope Canada stand strong and never bow down to the U.S,

Hahahahaha, panic move from Trudeau! You are all sick and full with poison. Trudeau is going down with all of you. Hope that one day you all open your eyes!

It's rich that Trumpers, in voting for him, sacrificed their civil rights in favor of economic benefit, only to get this sh!t show. Nice work Trumpers. Make sure you savor your $10 eggs. Hope it was worth getting Trumped in the a$$

I hope so,ething leams fro republicans in whitehouse about tryi g to take down liveral democracies and impeach the orange wrecking ball

This entire video is why Canada needs Pierre Poilievre. He will get the economy going again. Produce more, be more self-sufficient, build more homes, reduce taxes, stop the catch, and release of criminals. I hope to God he gets in because if the liberals gets a 4th term, Canada will be headed towards third world status. ?

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

Why doesnr Trumps rating sinkinto his swamp.i hope it does soon xxxx

Donald does not, nor has ever, understood politics or geo-politics. He approaches things as 'business deals' amongst businesses but Countries are not businesses. I have no doubt he is surrounded by people that have known these tariffs are a bad idea but are more interested in keeping their jobs than speaking up with knowledge and experience. Donald is a bully and you have 2 choices. Accept or take the gloves off. Donald is a twice impeached, convicted criminal. I hope the 150+ million that voted for him never complain about the hardships that are on the way. Donald has been authentic from day 1 of his first campaign. He's egotistic, narcissistic, arrogant, insecure, ignorant. I no longer buy American products nor will I set foot in country where half the population has no problem with his lack of empathy, lack of ethics, lack of morality. He isn't the problem so much as he has REVEALED a problem in American society.

Go Mexico!!!!\n\n\nAlso I hope EU will join!!! This will show Trump he can’t win!!! Unless his plan is to suck Russia pipes to get energy…

Go get donald, president Trudeau! Hope other will join you eventually?

I TRULY HOPE THE BEST TO ALL NATIONS WORLDWIDE! I honestly feel ashamed of this circus, I am supposed to call my government. DELUSIONAL DON....THE NEW PANDEMIC

I hope Trump thoroughly studied the implications of his economic policies with economic experts (not just businessmen bootlickers) including consumers and labor experts before implementing anything and not just knee jerk reactions ??\n\nThere's still time for him and cohorts to swallow their pride and apologise and rectify this

This situation is the best Trudeau could have hoped for.

Dosent know his facts on the Russia Ukrainin war , guys a wine fraud and I hope he gets found out

Thank you for speaking like a real leader, you give us hope.

I feel his sinceriy for the people, not just for Canadians. Im from Philippines but I hope things will turn for good for both neighboring country.

He is not breaking up with America. He is breaking up with the United States. Hopefully, everything goes back to normal relationships.

Who starts a conflict with Canada? Everyone loves canada! Like there is no reason for this at all, just like Trudeau mentioned.\nUS is a joke, I hope everyone gets together to hurt them enough so that they stop as soon as possible. I feel with the americans that didnt vote for this

Hope this speech D understood.Straight talk but Dumb D ?

No one is buying the fentanil pretext. A great speech from Justin Trudeau. I sincerely hope the Americans will wake up and destitute this ''Wanna be Putin'' in Trump along with his mentally challenged vice president. Loved the intervention of former General Wesley Clark. I mean, when you served the US Army as a general, i'm pretty sure this man loves his country and hearing him saying he's totally with Canada in this issue. It's sums it all.

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

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.

I hope the Trumptards have to pay for higher electricity charges

I hope next time our prime minister has to go to the oval office they wear jeans and a hockey/lacrosse jersey and walk in with a plate of poutine ??. Jk, kind of ?.

I hope all « bizarre » Americans people who have voted for Trump listen and open there ayes !

I think Trump doesn't like Trudeau and this is why he is really doing this. Hopefully with new leadership the tarriffs will be lifted.

The time has come to out-bully the bully. Appeasement will do nothing. Great speech, Mr. Trudeau. I hope our other allies do the same. Love from NY.

¡ I really hope CLAUDIa Sheinbaum (MEXICAN PRESIDENT) answers So clearly and assertively to the TRUMP'S agressions against our NATIONS !

I am an American and I stand with Canada, Ukraine, Europe and all allies America had before Donald. At least half our country disagrees with Donald's administration, and I hope that more will join our numbers.

Much respect PM Trudeau. I’m an American with Canadian roots as my parents were born and raised in Alberta. Your message was spot on and I’m truly embarrassed and ashamed of our current leadership and the decisions they are making. I hope that someday they will come to their senses. In the meantime thank you for being a true statesman and leader in these difficult times.

As a blue dot in a red state, i hope the world knows some of us also cannot believe what is happening. I hope we can repair our relationship with the world ?

I just hope he knows that a lot of America's didn't vote for Donald....we're good and decent people. We are also getting hurt by Donald

Our Gov, but we the people get punish..F it less see what happens..I hope Trump have a true plan.. JD got to go...Its just something about that hype man?

Canadian here. This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl! Trump wants to take over Canada, and Canadians will not stand for that! We are a sovereign nation and I hope that Americans can understand that we will not tolerate an attack on our country

As a Canadian , i'll be eating my $3.00 cad eggs tomorrow morning. Let's hope Ford get a itchy finger tomorrow to turn down the lights. Americans will feel this one.
