Thought he was resigning??? Must take a long time in Canada for a politician to actually resign

Stand strong against the petty bully, Canada ?? \nWe all support your country.

As an American, I stand with Canada and any other country that is repelled and repulsed by the idiocy that is the Trump administration. Blaming anyone and everyone for our own shortcomings is a fools errand and a petty and idiotic way of governing. This country is under the rule of a narcissistic dictator wanna be and a cult of clueless clowns.

Canada helped U.S. on 911 like no other nation could,using a small airport meant for smaller planes to help by allowing jumbo jets to land,while we gladly housed Americans there. - Through Our Lens - A 9-11 Story

Find out what pain Canada has planned for the future tariffs. Unplugged, no oil, no metals and no wheat. Good luck shivering in the dark.

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Go Canada ??

Where does Russia and Putin come into Canada's squabbles with the US?

Brave, bold, justified and resonable response from Canada. Weldone.

Total support to Canada ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ?.

Now imagine if Trudeau led Canada like this his entire Prime Ministership, this is like dirty dog calling another dirty dog a filthy animal.

American from North Carolina here. 100% support for Canada's reaction. Many of us can't wait for this utter nightmare to end.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

I am American, and I feel deeply ashamed with the hostility our own leadership is showing against our best friend in Canada

God Bless this articulate, smart , compassionate leader. I’m American who hates everything about Trump. Everything. I wish I could move to Canada. God Bless you’ll. And pray for us here living with this crazy dictator It’s horrible.

The politicians have lost and don’t think Putin is our friend… We just want people to stop dying… War is not the answer at this point… Bro thinks the retirement stock market is inflation? ? That explains why sleepy Joe messed it all up. Canada is just mad we don’t want their candy. ? Find business elsewhere where I guess bruh. ? You don’t have to cry about it on TV…

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Listen, the numbers don’t look good for Canada. America have the resources to withstand long term pains of tariff while Canada can only withstand a short term before a serious recession

That’s kind of president. I like GO CANADA ??

I am from the U.S. and I am SO happy Canada has done this. Stand up to the Clown and Coward in office in the u.s. and make it Very Tough for him!!

I promise you Canada is going to feel it worse than us we have the resources it’s just people don’t want to work America has everything we need!!!

I am American and I stand with Canada.

God bless Canada. What can the MAGA pundits say about his speech? Nothing, because he absolutely delivered with facts.

just a couple of mistakes here and there, USA's biggest ally is México, Canada is a close 2nd. But Canada and Mexico can be great partners work together and just forget the dumbasses in between =)

Lol booooo, boooo Canada

I am an American citizen. I stand with Canada. ??

Go Canada!!!! we all stand with you well done. So now Tariffs from Canada and China, next will be Europe and Australia will stop all imports from the US Hopefully, Trump will cause a recession on the world

❤❤❤?? Canada Strong ?? ????❤❤❤

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.

Under Trump Canada became our enemy and Putin became our friend.

America, your president is using YOU as pawns to threaten and force a move on Canada and other allies because he doesn’t care if everyday Americans suffer for what he thinks is for the “greater good” of America. Think about that for a minute, PLEASE.

God bless Canada we all fight for our beautiful home????

From Arizona, I stand with Canada!

We don’t want this either. We don’t want tRUMP. Or MUSKRAT. We want Canada. Our friends and neighbors.

This is ridiculous and so unnecessary Trump who ? This makes me wanna move to Canada now!

Australia stands with Canada

Fentanyl has to get into Canada before it can cross our border. Which border is he talking about, entry or exit?

Pretty sure Trump will turn it around in 2 weeks time and will say it's Canada that placed the tariffs on US, Mexico, Europe. :) ........ Watch.

All you idiots that praise Justin Trudeau are not Canadians. This POS is the reason that Canada's middle class is now poor and suffering. There's no worse person than a liberal who talks nice but makes empty promises. Our cost of living is through the roof, our economy is tanked, our infrastructure is 30 years behind. We have now become a third world country thanks to clowns like this.

Lol Canada cannot win this just capitulate you’re already broke.

For those out there that are thinking Canada is weak please remember that half of the things that are considered war crimes are only on the books because Canada did them first. Canada has a history of fighting dirty.

Absolutely amazing speech. Hats off to Trudeau and Canada.

I am completely outraged. I am disgusted beyond comprehension with the gutless Republican party for not standing up to trump. Canada has traditionally been our steadfast Ally and closest Trading partner. Trump is a walking, talking, dumpster fire, and must be removed from office as soon as humanly possible. How this profoundly disturbed, mentally ill excuse for a human being ever got elected to the highest office in the land is utterly beyond me. This is where MAGA ignorance, gullibility, and abysmal stupidity has gotten us. The rest of us here in the United States are just horrified by the destructive chaos Trump is unleashing on this country and the rest of the world. Our profound apologies to Canada

I hope Canada realizes tens of millions of us don't want this either. Don't call it the American tariff. Call it trump's tariff. That is what it is.

As an American I stand with Canada teach that orange fascist a lesson!

I am an American citizen and I stand with you Canada!!! Thank you for protecting yourself and those of us not blind to the very obvious corruption.

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.

You all realize he is a complete failure as a leader right? Propaganda aside, he is hated in Canada. Absolutely destroyed Canada on the world stage and within our open border. Canada will take years to recover if it even can. He should be in jail. He is done.. can't be gone soon enough.

Good for you Prime Minister of Canada ??, I wish I still had relatives in Canada, then I would have gone there for a very long visit w/them ❤
