Canadians. Hang in there. WE WILL take care of this pig, once and for all! And I pray our friendship will be even stronger for it, in the end. I believe I speak for most Americans when I say, you are our brothers and sisters. That is how I feel about it, anyway. This Sc**bag will not succeed! He is NOT my President! ..IMPEACH KRASNOV NOW!!!

I truly hate that so many of us are being lumped in with the traitors that are running the government now. We did not vote to have a convicted felon in the seat of the president or all the unqualified IDGITS that were appointed to serious decision-making positions that can destroy this country. For the traitorous, racist, sexist, stupid, and pathetic losers who voted for the destroyers of america, there is a space in hell for you all! Disgusting!!!!!

The Emperor has no clothes, but Orange Mango McFelon thinks that the rest of us are as stupid as he is. Musk thinks we are stupid. Vance thinks we’re stupid. We most certainly are not. We see right through all this bull$hit. \n\nAll Don McFelon and Elon Muskrat want from us is our tax dollars. Why else would Elon Muskrat need our personal information? What are Muskrat’s pimple faced workers doing with our personal information? Am I going to wake up one morning to discover that my bank has been cleaned out?\n\nMy fellow Americans, there is something extremely fishy here. This con artist must be stopped. We need to protest and call our Congressmen to help stop all this lunacy. This is a Five Alarm Fire. We all need to come together to stop this madness man and all those that support him. \n\nWe need to stop fighting with each other, come together, and protest DT. They want us to focus on other things so that we don’t see what they are actually doing—-stealing our tax dollars. They must be stopped.

As an American I love Mexican and Canadian people but all of our problems are coming from China. Trump is doing all this because no one makes the changes to stop trafficking and cartel's its nothing against the citizans of Canada and Mexico.

Unbelievable that the whole world has to deal with this unqualified Criminal. They all have to speak to him as if the trade War has anything to do with them or Commerce. When in reality it's all about stealing from the poor to give to the rich. Trump does not like that he is the president to ballooned the US deficit more than any other president in history. This was done because of his tax cuts for billionaires the first time around. He wants to extend the tax cuts but he has been warned what it will do to the deficit. So tariffs are his plan to put back into the US coffers what will not be going in from billionaire taxes. The Red Hat Club has been stupid enough to buy the tariffs have anything to do with immigration or drugs. It's so easy for Trump to use these trigger issues to commit his crimes and then excuse it. The cult never questions if they're told it has something to do with hating immigrants. Tariffs are paid for by the US citizen. The little guys. It allows the US government to become a middleman in every transaction. Getting a cut when it has done nothing to deserve it. It is the way Russia runs things. Trump is always using the Russia Playbook of how to dismantle a democracy. It is the opposite of free trade and capitalism

I live in America, I Love Canada As I Live Right In The Border. ! I love All People This Is Terrible And Evil To Us Regular People! This Hurts Us All I Have Family, And Friends On both Sides of This Continent. The border is our back doors. We all shop, visit, entertain all over we all should be FREE. STOP THIS EVIL IN THE NAME OF THE MOST HIGH! YAHSHAYUAH!

Trump did,not the majority of the United States, trump is the worse president we have had in decades. please do not blame all the American people. We don't want this either. I am so sorry this happened to you and Canada.

Although I was born in the U.S., I quote Jesus... 'my kingdom is NOT of this world.' frump attacking our allies is NOT the way to go. My Father GOD owns ALL of this world, and those who attack God's children WILL be held accountable! Isaiah 54:17 Mr Trudeau, Mr Zelensky, I am praying that frump wakes up or that people here have enough courage to stand up for righteousness.

And nobody's dumb enough to think that this is a short-term fix gas prices are up 70 cents a gallon mostly everywhere let's see who pays for that oh yeah that's right US citizens supposed to fix food prices not up 30% by the way this is all on Trump's watch right oh yeah that's right like I said both sides are liars that's why I'm independent proud of it we put people in office are we take him out of office in the next vote he doesn't care cuz this is his last Rodeo but don't think an impeachment wouldn't be on his record again

I am shocked and dismayed at the calm in this female reporters voice, as if, just another day at the WH. PLEASE TELL IT LIKE IT IS. We have a criminal psychopath in the WH who is ruining our GOOD relationships....BECAUSE HE CAN. He's NUTZ. IMPEACH HIS SORRY ASS NOW! How many crimes does he have to commit before someone does something. Why are sitting and watching the destruction of our country? Find a good protest...I'm sure they need us all. I know I do. I need the family of man to stand up to this crazy monster in the WH....throw his ass out. Pick him up and removing him. If we only had the 'cojones'.

He can huff and puff all he wants. But, he's leaving soon. Nothing he says matters. Things will change soon for the Canadian people. Why you're even giving this waste of space airtime is beyond me.

The politicians bankrupt this country that's what all of this mess is about.

That's because Trump is a piece of s*** and a communist and loves Putin and hates our allies and hates us as the people in this country us Americans That's how I feel about Trump!!!!\n\nHe's f****** up the economy he's going to take all your social security all your Medicaid you people put them in your s*** should go nobody else is just stupid people who voted for him should go But no everybody's going to suffer Good looking out Elon and Trump freaking pieces of crap \n??????????????

Trudeau spoke well. I did not vote for him but he is doing great work these days. Under his leadership, all Canadians are united in this fight against the USA. He is absolutely right, this stupid war will have no winners, only losers, with the exception of Russia. To the Americans who voted for Trump or did not bother to vote at all, this is on you.

I think you need a helping of a extremely large knuckle sandwich.\nHe didn't seem to mind when Hillary Clinton sold 80% of our uranium to Russia use trucked from Washington into Canada in order to get it to Russia. Trudo is one of them. Both this smuke and hillary clinton Will eventually go down The most corrupt in history.\n just increase the green new deal carbon tax ,And allow all the undocumented aliens come to your country stay right there in canada where they belong with the rest of the international Missfits of humanity.\nAll Lies will be revealed

Trump did a good thing. All you woke, soft hearted liberals don't get the fact that the USA has been allowing these other countries to eat off of us for free. Well, that' stops today. The President/PM of Ukraine will also learn a valuable lesson today as well. Never bite the hand that feeds you. All of our tax dollars have been donated around the world to other people's causes while we are made to suffer. We have a financial crisis right here in America that needs to be addressed. This is the start, and in the long term, we will prevail. Canada is like a little sister to the US. Trudeau is talking about fighting and they can't survive a war without our help. Neither can many of the other NATO countries. So, middle finger to him and any other country that opposes us. It's time stop being taken advantage of and for the USA to start acting like we are the most powerful nation in the world. Many of you don't like Trump's decisions simply because you don't like the person. Get out of your feelings and look at then big picture.

Crude is a socialist. What he doesn't realize is that trumps and America is sick and tired of Canada and the rest of the world taking advantage of America trade fair. That's all it is you want, freedom. You want fairness pay your own fair share in this world. We've been protecting you for years. You've been taking advantage of. Trade deals for years. Time for you to pay up pal

Unfortunately, in this speech, all J. Trudeau has shown is that Canada can be forced to implement irrational and costly programs (fentanyl/border security) while otherwise listing off every reason the United States has for annexing Canada. Canadian vulnerability is on full display and there are going to be plenty of famous ex-pats and wealthy citizens, who are already silent, and will soon be quietly, then vocally, supporting it. The Trump administration doesn't think Canada is a legitimate country and unlike Mexico, they feel it can absorb its demographic easily. This is how Anschluss works.

anyone that doesnt think shit gets worse before it gets better is delusional. weve kicked the can down the road for decades and now were at a breaking point. Tarrifs are mad toi bring companies back to america making our country more self sufficient and not so reliant on everyone else which will strenghten us. TSMC has already made a deal to start manufacturing chips here which control everything we know and china could stop that at any moment. Honda is coming here as well. All in all almost one trillion has been committed to invest in the us and this is a huge win for the long run. Alot of these countries have had tarriffs on us for ages and the people speaking out against it is because its hurting their pockets. The long run this is mandatory and we should have never let manufacturing go in the first place.

Come on bro you know that Joe Biden is the one that hurt this country with what he let you and every other country get away with against the American people a lot of us woke up we voted for Trump there's a mandate you can talk crap and try to lie all you want that's what you liberals do but we know better I stand with Trump

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

As an American, the saddest thing is I now have to root against America. A slim majority of those who voted put this wannabe dictator and putin puppet in office and I want to see other countries point that out and slap back. The world needs to recognize the psychosis of donald trump. There isn't any equal relationship or deal with him. He must feel like he's humped you into submission. But like all weak men and bullies, he's ultimately a coward in the face or real challenge. Thank you Canada and accept the sincere apologies of the voters that foresaw and rejected this disastrous government.

As European citizen, is there any EU politician on-line taking notes???. This is how you adress the nation in times of urgency, this is how you adress trouble. It all start with naming the problems, and not endlessly debating how to describe a dictator without offending him. Powerfull speech.

I know...I've been to Niagara Falls and Toronto....best visiting place ever. Beautiful Country and my hope is to one day have an opportunity to visit and take the train across. Thank you for your help with the California Fires....you are having to deal with a deranged, self-loving monster who IS NOT QUALIFIED to have the job he is playing with. You must defend yourselves of all his whims and orders. This dictator want-to-be, whom many of us don't want here, is a bully! Don't allow that to happen...ever. Push back...don't let the bully orange tumor get his way without repercussions. We as citizens know there will be a high price to pay, but we are not blinded to his tyranny.

You must go to a higher level than just matching Trumps 25%. Make him feel the pain and know Americans will survive all of this. We regret electing D Trump. He is a liar, and isn't doing what he promised. He's making things much worse.

We tried to do something about this clown but unfortunately half of this country that voted were idiots and say they didn't know he would do this. I don't recognize this country anymore, I served and fought for our country but I did not fight for what Trump is doing. I could not convince the morons who voted for him the danger this man poses to our democracy and now we are paying the price even all those of us who did not vote for him.

I can’t believe we’re all suffering from the radical nonsensical actions of one disgusting individual. Trump must go! This whole thing is completely ridiculous.

This trade war has nothing to do with fentanyl, Trump is a turncoat aka treasonous person who has been working with Russia all along and is using any and all excuses to cause people to look at anything else but him as he lines the pockets of his billionaire buddies because America gave him that when they said a president can't be charged for anything they do while serving in the White house. Thanks a lot supreme court and to all those that voted for him...... I hope you all get deported and lose all your money for putting us Normal non radicalized Americans through h3!!. It's insane how people are so blined that they know he lies and is a criminal and when hit with hard facts he calls it fake news and they all believe it. My own mother in law is one too. I hate this

Well said, PM Trudeau. You assessment of the situation is more than impressive. The world has been turned upside down by an aging megalomaniac who wears fake tan and he is damaging all of us, including Americans. Unfortunately, a third of them haven't understood that yet. The saddest part of all this is that his especially harsh treatment of Canada is probably because Trudeau's good looks and that photo with Melania..

If I really want to make sense of all this non sense, in this 'alternative truth world', I will say that, in fact, Trump is surprisingly the best advocate for sustainable development! Because, if the tariffs have the expected consequences, trade between both your countries will decrease, meaning less trucks on the roads, meaning less fossiles fuels, less production, less consumption, meaning less emissions of CO2. Is it what Trump really wants?

As a Canadian a citizen ,I am more than angry ,I am ashamed and embarrassed at the Trudeau government ! All the liberals needed to do is fix borders and take care of the devastation safe supply sites which Canadian citizens have been calling for ,for years !! Disgusting ! United States have been friends and neighbours throughout most of Canadian history and this selfish greedy corrupted PM just destroyed all of it for nothing but to impose himself on the seat since we are going to war ! Detestable! Trudeau is the threat to Canadians not Trump ! ??????❤️and remember this clown Trudeau is suppose to be stepping down in the coming days ! Think about how selfish and careless these liberals are !

Never seen a leader or President have a speech for another country to its citizens , You can tell the rats are scared and backed into a corner . Fear mongering American citizens will not help your country . Do your share and do your job and none of this will happen to any American or Canadian citizens . Right now the only ally you have is CNN . The most fear mongering net work on the planet , Which is not worth bragging about . They will be bankrupt soon with all the lawsuits they are losing .

Trudeau is the real dictator in Canada. He forced all of his citizens to get jabbed. I thought this coke attic had resigned. America First!

Nobody ever said, with a straight face, that the orange blob is a smart man. \nThey need to turn off the power they send to the US. They need to order Starlink out of their country. They need to put a 100% tariff on all Tesla products, all products from Kentucky, Tennessee, floridumb, texass, and every other red state. They voted for this, it's what they wanted, so make it hurt hard.

Trump is what the people voted for and they're gonna get all of trump this time, fools chose their own demise.

Is Musk going to somehow install some right-wing puppet in Canada in a few days too?!? The timing of all this is highly suspect

As an italian i'm proud of you Canada. Don't let the crazy bullies win.\nThe USA is working hard on all fronts to end its hegemony. If this won't backfire for them, I don't know what will.

Trudeau is lying when he says they’re doing all they can. A giant fent lab was discovered in Canada in 2024 and no arrests have been made. Probably because the Chinese who fund it fleece Canadian politicians like they have been forever. Most of the world is ignorant to what is going on here. Look up Sam cooper and all the work he’s down to uncovering this.

The sense I make of it is that it sure looks like trump and putin plan on carving up our world BY STARTING WORLD WAR 3. Lots of war money to be made and Putin gets Europe, trump gets North America and China can have Taiwan for starters. That’s why trump talks about Canada and Mexico being part of the US…THAT’S THE PLAN. And Elon gets to steal all our data to feed to AI for total surveillance and control. This is a corporate takeover of our world and we cannot let it happen.

No one is interested in anything he is saying. The people just want to hear what the people are saying about all of this and not some hand in the money jar ? freak. People like him need to go. He is just another liar for his own benefit. Trump and his merry helpers are putting this right and exposing the trubble makers all over the world and their shitting them selfs so don’t listen too any of his/ there bull sh1t Because we the people don’t need people like this ???✊?

Well it's like this , no more deals with the states for the next 4 years til Trump is out of there that's it that's all , sorry americans but that's the way it has to be , a threat is a threat and now is reality ...

Well done Canada. Trump thinks because he is a bully that everyone will fall down and accept whatever he tells them.\nBullies are a thing of the past. The USA is absolutely FU*KED.\nWell done all who voted for this idiot and dictator Trump. Fools.

This is the time to set aside any dislike for Trudeau. I see him more capable of standing up to the Trump administration than the other candidates queuing up to replace him. Think about it, this is not the time to chastise him for past failures because all this does is play into the hands of the Trump clown show.

Do what you have to do Trudeau. We don’t blame you in America. Trump is disgracing us all over the world running this country into the ground. The stock market is down. Prices are up joblessness is up and this is before the tariffs. Maybe when these red state people can’t afford food, they will wake up to what we knew Our entire lives, watching the news in New York growing up. Trump‘s grandfather led to Europe to avoid mandatory military service. Not a single member of his family in-laws or any generation has ever served in the military. He has screwed over every contractor and blue-collar worker that ever works for him while grouping young, teen girls at his beauty pageants. Simultaneously bankrupting several casinos Trump state Trump airline Trump Water Stealing all the money from his charity, so he is never allowed to run a charity again and somehow, these morons elected him to be president of our country. If we have to hurt a little bit to get this cancer removed from our country so be it. Make America great again by praying for Trump to choke on a big Mac.

President chump is an ignorant pig, respect to Canada! do what you gotta do, if americans didn't want this then that orange stain of a president wouldn't have gotten elected, but all the orange stain minons voted for him, by choice.

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

As a Marine Corps Veteran, a die hard patriot to the USA, and as a Trump Supporter; I do not support this. We shouldn't Impose tariffs on one of our closest allies. It should also be stated I'm not a fan of Trudeau at all, but I commend him for helping out with the fentanyl situation. Also I don't like how Trump is Siding with Russia. However I do understand his stance on not wanting to continue to send Money to Ukraine to keep the war going on longer, As we have sent them Billions of Dollars in the last three years. However as a US citizen I also have to state the the US has a history of supporting countries that were invaded in the past, which we have done up to this point in Ukraine. Correct me if I'm Wrong, but when have we just stopped supporting the invaded country and sided with the Invading country?

Can't make something make sense who makes NO SENSE!! I hate this for all of us. Our government is not OUR government, but we are fighting back. We know where the BS is coming from. Enough of us are not confused. I'm so sorry about this madness. God help us!!

i probably have no business asking this question, because there's a number of people who don't care for Justin, but that seems to be the way it is with almost all leaders.\nMy question is this:\nDoes Justin Have To Go?\n??\n?️

TRUMP SCHOOLS TRUDEAU! CNN IS FAKE NEWS. THEY WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES...THEY'RE ANTI-AMERICAN...AND TOO MANY OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE TOO! IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW THIS EVEN HAPPENS. WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE GONE WITH YOU CNN LOYALISTS??? CNN PUTS THEIR SHEEPLE IN A TRANSE AND THESE BRAINWASHED POOR SOULD HEAD TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO ANNOUNCE ALL THE PROPAGANDA TO EVERYONE...LOL. SAD!
