STOP! The Canadiens are not our allies. We, here in the United States of America, ARE FREE PEOPLE! Canadiens are Socialists, you are not a free people. You have no way to self correct by free elections. Look at what TRUDEAU did to those truckers. No accountability! Look what they did to President Trump. WE THE PEOPLE SPOKE...and now retribution. Canada needs to adopt a similar system. Trudeau is a piece of shit!

True words. All respect to Canada ?? and Mr Trudeau from Germany ??

as an american I may not stand behind trudeau's policies or past, but i felt pride and respect today seeing him speak directly to us god bless his soul and canada

Canada is not for sale, do not even think ? as Canadian citizen I stand with our prime minister Trudeau

Trudeau should call Trump, it's set so high at 25 to make some sort of deal. I get the impression that Trump would like Canada to set up some shops in the US and get some benefits to help build the shops. When a new tariff is put in place, you have to call Trump to remove the tariff like last time.

We stand with you Trudeau and Canada ?? Greatings from Germany ❤

Massive respect from Australia ?? ohh boy Trudeau got Frumpy by the ghoulies lol ? ???Go Canada ?? from Down Under we stand with you. Frumpy has put tariffs on our stuff too! I’m off to buy some delicious real Canadian ?? maple syrup and whipping up a batch of delicious pancakes on Saturday morning. ?

From Romania: this was a brilliant speech! Well done Canada! We are with you! Stand up against the bully! Chapeau bas Mr. Trudeau!

Please don’t resign Trudeau we the Canadians need you right now. I don’t want Trump to have Canada ?? I am with Trudeau all the way when it comes to saving our country. Please Canadians we the ones who were born in Canada ?? don’t want US to take over our country and make it part of US do we?? \nI am so proud that our Government Trudeau is speaking out to Trump . ????

So embarrassed and worried for my country. How on earth 1/2 the population voted for this traitor, felon, maggot AGAIN, i will never understand. He has done so much damage and we will suffer the consequences for years. This speech was brilliant, so happy Prime Minister Trudeau called him donald. Most of us stand with Canada, Mexico, Europe & Ukraine!!!♥♥♥

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

Justin Trudeau is a great prime minister, brilliant leader god bless Canada

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent coverage of one of the greatest tragedies perpetrated on the American people by its leader. I strongly take issue with the Wall Street Journal opinion of Donald Trump, being a smart man. Only a flaming idiot would let Vladimir Putin play them like a puppet. God bless Canada and it’s unbelievably understanding beautiful people who’s empathy is boundless and God bless Justin Trudeau, who will be unbelievably missed on the world stage and as a beloved, American, cousin, and dear neighbor‼️

Trudeau can shove his talk to Americans! We aren’t idiots that he appears to treat Canadians as! \nTrudeau is in the hands of China! It is so obvious he looks completely pathetic! We know that only 1% of shipping containers coming into Canada are screened! Think you might want to check those “Containers” Justin! If there’s one thing that Americans have learned, “Liberals Lie”! They do it constantly! Oh and Justine, that’s “President Trump” to you, you pos! \nAt no time has Trump kissed up to Putin! You have to talk to both Parties when trying for peace! You can’t ignore one side in a war! Trudeau is a corrupt lying creep! Are you still wearing the friendship Bracelets from Brittany Spears Concert?! Soon you will be forgotten among Canadians and the rest of the World!

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.

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.

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

Behind closed doors, they talk about the American banks that want action in Canada. trudeau never mentioned in his speech.

Justin Trudeau is a cuckold. Annex Canada.

Blistering? Trudeau? Hardly. Petulant. Peevish. Snippety. Waspish. A weak argument from a weak leader. Tell me…why won’t Canada pay tariffs equal to what they charge the US? Do they expect an unfair advantage because they’re ‘less than’?

Bravo Trudeau! You are the right president for Canada in these unique times. Keep the international alliances, Canada 1st and Canada for Canadians. The whole world is supporting all Canadians. The world does not need President Karen Trump and his madness, nor the world needs USA. It is extremely disrespectful what Trump and the USA goverment are doing. WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE ARE THE WORLD!

Trudeau has had his share of critics during his tenure. But he's always had Canada and its' people in his best interest. While he was forced to resigned as many members of this cabinet was losing faith in him, this is his last week in office with nothing to lose. During these past few weeks, he has been a true champion by rallying the whole country and uniting us closer than I've ever seen. This speech was exactly what we Canadians all feel. Mic Drop! Thanks for the heartfelt comments from around the world.

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?

Canada is about to become the 51st state. Trudeau crying now ?

Go Canada! EU will happily take over the trade you had with the US :) Thank you for standing with the Free world ❤\nI know Trudeau was not liked and there's political differences and discontent in other countries as well but damn is it soothing to hear politicians talk with dignity and intelligence, unlike some American top officials right now!

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.

canada only started to clean up fentanyl after u.s threaten them with tariff. also trudeau is suspiciously close with xijinping... meanwhile fentanyl source is china...

I’m an American. I love our home. I love our people. I love our land. I love our principles.\n\nAnd it’s for all those reasons that I support Canada, Mexico, the European nations, and all the other sane countries around the world that are hitting back against these maniacs driving my homeland into the gutters of history.\n\nEven as a leftist, I’ve had my fair share of criticisms for Mr. Trudeau, Mr. Starmer, and Mr. Macron as well as the other leaders of the EU. But now, bygones are bygones. In Americans’ moment of need, it’s clear that three folks care more about the United States and our values than the Republicans ever will.\n\nThank you for standing on the right side of what will certainly be one of the most important moments in modern American history.

Trudeau is a National Embarrassment- to himself - and to Canada.\n\nDo Canada a huge favor justin- step down- you have lost the respect of most of Canada - to me . And - no world leader has any respect for you either - to me.\n\nPathetic you are - to me.

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.

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

Mr Trudeau is very clear. No grandstanding. Impressed. Go Canada! ?????????

Canadians have memory holed the last 8 years of Trudeau running Canada into the ground Trump is a gift to Trudeau who comes out looking good. We are living in an 80s action movie with a dumb script that all comes together at the end with some low grade cheep chest thumping bravado

Mr. Trudeau as an Australian who loves Canada you're not dealing with a rational, compassionate, leader across the border but a self serving, lying, convicted felon and Putin sycophant.

Bravo Canada. \nBravo @Prime Minister Trudeau.\nNo place for bullies in a civilised world

Contrast this speech with what trump responds with. Insults the PM of Canada. By calling him governer Trudeau. Completely insulting and childish but what do you expect?. I just wish the rest of the worlds statesman started insulting trump the same way. A man child coward with the intelligence of a amoebe

As a citizen of the United States, I stand with Canada. I am from Michigan and don’t want my home gas going through the roof. I didn’t vote for the damn racist dictator. I am for human rights. I don’t agree with Trump!!!!!!!! Good speech Trudeau. Keep standing up to the bully.

British here. Standing with Canada ??. Hats off to Prime Minister Trudeau for showing true leadership and swift Canadian response.

Just take a look at the homeless areas of Canada and you will soon confirm that Trudeau is lying. Fentanyl is abundant in Canada and flowing across our borders. Trudeau admires the CCP. Let him give them a jingle and cancel the Fentanyl killing Americans-- AND Canadians.

Clown Trudeau's been colluding with China for years. He sold Canada out to Xi and CCP, and these Canadan dummies still support him and wonder why their country is in turd state and somehow blame Trump. ?

USA v Canada. ?\nGo Trudeau. \nOur ancestors and hero’s would be devastated but proud of you. Side by side. \nLest we forget ? ??

From Australia. We support our brothers in Canada. Some great plain speaking Mr Trudeau!

I am from Poland and I support wholeheartedly CANADA !!!! Trump is a russian agent whose aim is to wreck havock in the western world!!! Lond Live Canada!!! Long Live Trudeau!!! Slava Ukraini!!! Shame on Trump!!!

I guess it's politics Mr. Trudeau.\n\nA PM who protects and harbours Khalistani Terrorists for political reasons is surprised Trump is making policies for his political reasons ... \n\nTrudeau has reduced Canada to the impoverished 51st state of the US ??.

Folks here are forgetting that Trump is putting Tariffs on Canada because of Trudeau - a far leftist government. If we had a centrist government, this would not have happened.\nLest we never forget that Trudeau couldn't even talk to the Truckers, ceased their property and money illegally. Hopefully, none of us forget what a dictator this criminal is.

Trudeau is a snake. Remember that. He’s scapegoating Trump. If Trudeau was a great leader Canada wouldn’t be in the situation it’s in where he’s whining like a little b*tch. He should have done more years ago. He’s Canadas Biden and now like the lunatic left he’s blaming Trump.

Clown Trudeau refuses secure the border why's that? Is he getting pesos from the Kar----tels? ?But is willing to go Tariff war with US for refusing to do so? Who's the enemy here? DOGE Canada too Elon.

Trump is the man, Trudeau is a eunuch. Suck it up Liberals, let NATO enjoy the loss! They deserve every loss that is coming their way. I support strong Republicans and the USA unconditionally. Let Canada become the 51st as soon as possible!

As a Mexican, I get why Trump is angry with our narco govermment.. yes we a fukd up , but WHY CANADA¿¿ I mean Trudeau is a useless liberal fool, but I think this is too much
