Justin don't take it personally because Donald Trump has one vile purpose which is solely to dismantle institutions and destroy the US. Re-electing was the dumbest thing Americans could've done and the whole world will feel it. We're embarrassed for him!

I would NEVER, I repeat NEVER put any value in what Trudeau has to say about anything! Isn’t he the pot calling the kettle black. I believe when truckers had something to say was it not Trudeau who instead of listening to his citizens did he not freeze truckers personal bank accounts. Doesn’t he alway have his hand in the cookie jar. He gets an A for effort but to wage war financially or physically with America will be the single worst knee jerk reaction anyone has made. America isn’t trying to wage a war. Our purpose is to get as many countries off of our nipple as possible. We pay so much as citizens. Hopefully Trudeau changes his thought process.

Kudos to the Canadiens, the last remaining grown-ups in North America. I am sorry about your neighbour who for all intents and purposes have become a semi-fascist banana republic. Just know that you have friends in Europe.

Donald Trump needs a fight wherever there is no fight, because it's what legitimizes who he is. He needs conflict to give his life purpose, and we all go down the drain with him because of that affliction.

I think Donald is purposely trying to get us into a recession so him and all his billionaire buddies consume everything at low prices whether it’s real estate or stocks. Wouldn’t put it past them.

Trump is ditching traditional allies on purpose, because he’s ditching liberal democratic values. He’s aligning us with the Kremlin.

From the u.s i would gladly kick Trump out of office if i could.... since he came into office the prices of everything has gone up and i know with how he's treating or allies it's just gonna get worse. I think he is purposely ruining or country don't ask me why. I love my country hate how or leadership is running this country.

Trudeau was asked to do 1 thing. Take reasonable and responsible actions on drugs. He didn't. On purpose... He knew that this will cause tariff war which she wanted because now he will be able to blamed Trump for his government failures, price hikes, worsening standard of living in Canada, growin unemployment, inflation and other issues that Canada is facing, which are the reasons why Trudeaou is the least popular he ever was in there. Which is also why he will lose next elections and Pierre will replace him.

His 1st three letters is the same as trump 1st 3 letters i don't believe anything he says i believe this is all set up on purpose to start war on the blacks in the USA

Canada doesnt have much production at home. they will be getting goods from Europe now and other countries paying on the top more then 40% just for logistical purposes . Canadians... everything will come from your own pocket. Think about it.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset crashing the US on purpose so American and Russian oligarchs can buy up all of the shares of all of the major companies for pennies on the dollar and turn the USA into a Russian-style Duginist oligarchy and kleptocracy.\n\nThey are doing everything to you that they claimed that the Democrats were trying to do to you. They are playing out the ultimate plan of “you will own nothing and you will be happy” except they don’t care about you being happy, they’re just going to make you poor and that’s the end of it.

Like trump has been replaced by a clone manufactured with the sole purpose of bringing down the country

Trump and Vance are clear Russian agents. Proud of Canada for standing up to this dumb ass administration. Embarrassed to be American even though I didn’t choose this President. These administration obviously has no idea what they are doing or purposely spreading chaos.

For those of you who don’t get a lot of real and unbiased news in Trump’s Greater America…watch these documentaries from Australia and decide for yourself. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence behind Trump stealing both elections. Trump’s actions have become more extreme, as he greatly fears the consequences for ALL of his Criminal actions. Watch ABC Australia’s three part Four Corners Documentary exposing both Trump’s comprehensive and long-standing links with Russia and their cyber-espionage during the elections in the US. Also explains Trump seeking unwarranted control over all levels of law and its’ enforcement. He probably didn’t win this recent election either as the Russians have clearly done a deal with him to put him into power. He is now an (un)official Russian operative and things Putin won’t betray him….but Putin is younger and far better at removing obstacles that stand in his way. Trump may have a convenient heart attack once he’s served his purpose.

Trump is purposefully destroying the USA economy. Ask yourself, what he has to personally gain from doing so! Disconnecting the country from its allies and trading partners and their economies will tank the economy. Again, ask yourself, if you wanted to destroy the economy and the government, what are the steps would you take?

Wonderful to hear Canada's response to the bully Trump. President Trudeau response to global issues is measured, articulate and informed compared to the ignorant, bombastic self serving purposes of Donald Duck (AKA Donald Trump/ USA president) rants!!.\n Stand strong Canada, you have leverage (higher exports of power energies) to the US with your natural resources. In Ireland we recognize a huge differential between the morals of the USA versus Canada ( but some times get confused with the accents). I am with you Canada. Every best wish with your endeavors and thank you for supporting the EU.

I’m wondering…since all that trump had implemented do not make sense to anyone, just WHAT is trump’s purpose in souring great ties with allies economically n militarily?? To align USA towards Russian goals??

From UK , Trump and Vance should be forced out of their jobs as are not fit for purpose . Terrible what they are playing at , Trump is easily taken in with Putin he wants Trump himself to be a Dictator just alike his pal , his hero Putin \nPutin he is a mass murderer and wanted for war crimes also .\nEvil man Putin and trump just what does he see in him . Both as said Trump and Vance should be taken out of their jobs \nforced if need be . Trump sais he is trying to stop a war in Ukraine ? Seems to me he has not \nSeems so far as i type he talks bull , and just after the rare minerals in the Ukraine . The mans not fit for the job within \nand needs removed along with his co habs Vance and the other idiot stood behind them in that room .\nTreated Zelensky terribly also in that room a set up against him it was ..Americans get rid of them guys somehow .\n\nCanada all the best .

I am a conservative and I admit that Donald Trump's tariffs will have a negative impact on Americans. If you think businesses are going to pay for the increased cost of importing and are not going to scale back their labor forces are raise prices you don't have an understanding of business and finance. The whole purpose of going into business is to maximize profit therefore they are going to offset the costs by raising prices on goods for Americans and vice versa. This is a trade war. Thanks.

Trump is purposely destroying our country as we know it to pay back Putin for helping him win the election, keeping trump out of jail, and making available our coffers as trumps personal piggy bank. Trump is in bed with Putin. This is planned. Trump is a traitor and so are the people he has put in place in our government. I am heart broken but not about to give up.

I've said it from the beginning. This admin is purposely trying to destabilize our country at the will of Putin. Russia said they would destroy us from the inside. Well here we go.

He's purposely ruining the United States to hand over to Russia. He's doing the bidding for Putin. How are we going to stop him? He needs to be stopped.The american people didn't ask for any of this!!!

What is the purpose of showing PM Trudeau in his press conference if we can't hear him? These CNN commentators are paraphrasing endlessly what he said, while cutting off his voice. Are we so dumb that we have to be served a rehash while being deprived of the real thing? \n Maybe CNN is trying to explain things to MAGA voters; why the effort? They would'nt watch CNN anyway!

What's the purpose of going against our allies, I don't understand that.

America elected a MF FOOL to office and I blame the morons that complained about the price of gas and eggs! America elected a MF felon, a fraud and a racist to office for the purpose of some low class group of people to feel empowered. What a shit show America has become! Fuck all of you all that complained about Biden, now look at the new Russia!

I am a canadian and half my family live in the US... we are not enemies but I am not alone in fearing what America is becoming and the direction it is taking in trade , geo politics and governing philosophy. \nthe people behind project 2025 are not rational old conservatives harking back to a by gone era, they are christian fundementalists enacting a plan to bring about the transformation of the US into a full blown christian theocracy. A christian version of the taliban. \nThe vast majority of Americans don't want this and I believe share my fears on the direction of the country... it'll be up to the corporate oligachs to decide how this gets settled and that should scare the crap out of everyone... because they just want chaos to make money, to profit and to self aggrandise and stride on the stage as power merchants ... they could not care less about the American people.\na time is coming that fits the orginal purpose of the second amendment ... let's just hope people are smart enough to know who to point them at...

American here, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau's leadership. Trump's tariffs serve no purpose other than being a jerk. Stay strong Canada, stand up to this bully.

I AM CANADIAN. And sad to say I and my family were Trump supporters through halfway through his first term. The BS and blantent vugar talk from his mouth and now criminal conviction was enough. But now that I see Elon Musk , Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezzos and other billionaires in his shady corner I knew something wasnt right! And after how President Zelenskyy was treated, disgusting right for the news to see on purpose. Your President is way too close to Putin and who knows what other countries. Trump, and his cronies want the spoils and treasures of Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and Gazza! BTW Trump your welcome from Canada ?? for helping putting out your fires in California! But, then again we know you wont thank Canada! Hey Americans Canada ?? loves you! Alot of great history together! Lets not let trump and his cronies divide us!

As an american (lower case on purpose), I TOTALLY SUPPORT CANADA!

I stand with Canada. Mr. Trump is a traitorous poison working for all intent and purposes for Vladimir Putin and as such, he is a major threat to the national security to this country, Canada, Europe and the world. He and his criminal administration must be removed before they cause the collapse of the west.

Suddenly he want to fight drugs while for past years you legalize every possible drug i Canada. You should be ashamed of yourself Trudeau. When Trump wanted to put tarrifs on Canada you were gone to Portugal apart of making a deal with the guy. Now you cry like a little guy and blaming Trunp for everything while you wasnt even here to negotiate and you shut down Canadian government for your own partisan purpose and government does not exist right now in Canada just because you afraid of loosing election so you just trying to survive as a PM for as long as possible. Not trump but YOU destroyed Canada and its economy and making Canadians life harder and harder and spending our tax money all over the world

Trump does not speak for all Americans, elected or not. His purposeful sabotaging of both economic and our long time alliances are un-american.

Haha how he purposely reduced his vocabulary when directly addressing Trump ?

Starting this trade war is not only the craziest political decision I have seen in my entire life, it destroys the relationship between the US and its closest allies on purpose. A relation that has been built over decades. People and businesses on both sides of the pond will suffer badly from this idiotic agenda for no real reason. The USA is now officially at trade war with the free world.

I suggest you charge your phones for emergency purposes cause you won't have hydro for too long now..?

With Trump it feels like he's trying to destroy us on purpose

Yeah, what he wants is that Canada becomes the 51 state of and then once it becomes the 51 state Canada no longer will be making decision in anything and then everything that the Canada has worked or owns will be his for his own purpose haha. What does he thinks that Canada are bunch of idiots? well lets see. they will be like Puerto Rico with no right to do anything and like he told the Governor of the state of maine, you better comply or you get nothing from us because I am the federal government haha.

I'm sorry it's come to this, y'all. Please know the majority of us absolutely do not want this. We're trapped here under this pathetic, weak joke of a president who is crashing our economy on purpose. This doesn't feel real...

In America, no politician is allowed to have a vision that will benefit the people and the nation. The essence of America is to be consumed by corporate America until money chooses to leave the country when America runs out of incentives to keep it on its soil. As long as the purpose of America is to keep the dollar as a world currency and make it easy for business to operate on its soil, America politicians cannot make an acceptable proposition to the Americans left behind. America is a money making machine for corporate America and an indebtedness machine for the nation and its citizens. This love affair with money will sooner or later break the country. It is taboo to speak about the source of America's problems.

And our PM is not an effing governor like some stupid people keeps saying ON PURPOSE!

I have this very bad feeling that Trump is purposely trying to make the USA less secure so that Russia can take over.

I did not vote for Trump but I am a shame that Trump is president. Trump purposely destroying Biden’s “Build Back Better” he aligned with Putin. Trump staff Is part of Project 2025. These are the people who wanted a tax break, on the backs of the American people. Prime Minister Trudeau is not our enemy and I accept what he is forced for the Canadian people. We need to vote wisely to end Trump’s dictatorship and there will be 3 seats up in Congress in April.

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

He's fantastic...THIS is what a TRUE leader looks like MAGA...he inspires his citizens to work together and that's what makes their country GREAT.\nDonald Trump has purposefully worked towards dividing American citizens from day ONE, for the simple reason of his GREED for money and lust for power, and it's laughable that his slogan is 'make America great again' because anyone with a moderately functioning brain, knows that an extremely divisive country will NEVER be 'great'.\nHell...with trump as your leader...you're barely even functioning thus far, after his 'leadership' of a few weeks. God help you all after a few months, or YEARS!! What a FOOL.

Does this dude know fentanyl is used in every hospital and serves a legitimate medical purpose ? he’s so far up his ass it’s hard to find his intellect

Superb speech. And a clear casus belli for Trump. If the US economy is down significantly, he'll blame Canada, arguing that you've put unfair tariffs on the US with the specific purpose of hurting them (which is undeniable!) and it's Anschluss time, baby. Never underestimate how crazy he is.

As a leader, you are never remembered for what you compromised on. You are only remembered for what you stood for. When it comes to passion, purpose, and causes, there are ideas we are willing to live by, but as a leader, there are causes and beliefs we are willing to die for. \n You are a great leader Trudeau, not a liar but a man of integrity.\nDr Charles Holloway PhD

Well Played Premier JT! Your delivery was ?. I love how you purposefully quoted the Wall Street journal too. You made it very clear that you, JT are not the one who is saying “Donald is smart”, while using his first name like he disrespectfully uses yours. Stroke his pathetic ego! \n?\nHow will you stand up for us though? Universal basic income for all!

Fentanyl should not be wiped off the surface of the earth because it is a drug used for medical purposes.

The job loss is on purpose. Trump and Elon want the Federal Interest rate to go down and the fed won’t do it without job numbers going down drastically. Canada is playing into Elon and Trump’s hands. The job losses will help them borrow more money to destroy Democracy with and replace it with a techno-feudal system that will make us envy Soviet citizens ?‍?
