Strong speech of Trudeau! We Europeans feel you and we are totally with Canada. \nHowever, I guess there is no point anymore speaking reasonable arguments to someone who simply lost all resonableness. The ones behind him (voters) are blinded by the lies and false arguments they now believe in. \nUnfortunately this all will cause an unparalel loss of economic growth for everyone, ALSO for the americans themselves. In addition, the world peace balance will badly loose its balance and can end up quite uggly.

It is dustbin Trudeau who brought Canada's economy to the ground without any US tariff, and he is in his way out after losing support from his own party. He can say anything he wants, but the damage is already done.

Trump insists on an apology from Zelensky because he claimes that Zelensky showed him respect - and at the same time Trump calls Justin Trudeau - who is the Prime Minister of Canada - for governor. Talk about showing respect. So I'm going to call Trump a smallminded, vindictive megalomaniac, a pathological liar and a sick narcissistic baby. Nobody respects Trump; they fear him because he is an unreliable madman with a lot of military strenght and (so far) economic strenght he can threaten everybody with. Pictures of Stalin and Hitler must be hanging in his bedroom...

Canada you are not friends. You need to step down Trudeau.

I have a hard to believe that Trudeau, will stand witch Canada. I still remember the protest with the truck drivers.\nHe fled, and also froze their bank accounts.

I support Justin Trudeau and the people of Canada. Not all Americans voted for our rapist president.

❤Canada ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ❤❤ Brilliant Prime Minister Trudeau!!!

Trudeau is not that popular in Canada, but he is one thing,he's not Trump.He cares about Canadians, and our Sovereignty. Trump has sold out Americans to Russia, and is president only to keep himself out of prison and to enrich himself from the position. He has no interest in the American people, only in revenge for supposed flights to him by just about everyone, as he is a petulant child.

Funny how a lot of Canadians complained about Trudeau, the wokeness etc. Albeit reasonably so, Practically praising Trump, until these idiotic tariffs. Now we have Canada united and in a fighting patriotic mood against Trump. UK probably gonna go the same way thanks to Vance. A lesson in hubris.

Bravo, Prime Minister Trudeau! Elbows up, Canada!!!!

My respect to you and Canada, Mr. Trudeau.

You know it's really REALLY bad when Canadians applause Trudeau and Quebécois became patriotic for Canada

Trudeau resigned because he fucked up canada so bad and his people hate him. So why would the US losten to this failure of a leader

Correct Mr. Praminister J. Trudeau. I do understand you. As I am Polish woman, I do support the Canadian people. President D. Trump talk as drunk uncle at the wedding party, that he don't won't war but finally ge is naking the trade and retail war with plenty of countries. Canada need be strong and have strong diplomacy. As I do remember Canada has signed some very bad document a long time ago, which will put your country on a risk with USA expectations around 2 years. So check ut and change the legislation as soon as possible to protect your country Stay strong

I’m generally no fan of Trudeau but I’m with him on this…these Tariffs are stupid. I don’t know why we have to do this to them and ourselves…these amount of Fentanyl that comes in from Canada is tiny compared to Mexico

It's too bad that Trudeau's Government did so little about fentanyl, also about our poorly-controlled border and destructive immigration non-policies for so long. Hence, driving Trump's scorched-earth policy (The Tariffs). That said, it blows me away that Trump was so vociferous about the Lawfare that was lined up against him in 2023-24, but he doesn't see that excess use of the power of the State is wrong and immoral in this Canadian and Mexican case. Trump only knows the right of might. Threats, coercion, bullying. He doesn't otherwise distinguish between right and wrong; only about what is good for him and his ego. The Tariffs will drive very bad business outcomes in the US. Including, inflation, and lost jobs. The Stock Markets are already tanking. At this particular stage, his ego will not allow him to back off, that's my prediction. Much pain for all Americans (and obviously for Canadians) will first have to ensue. Canada must receive its spanking, and Donald will have to save face. Ultimately, he'll invent some dishonest pretense to put the genie in the bottle, while the economic damage to all sides will be severe. But ... Why would he care?

You know you've pissed Canada off when Prime Minister Trudeau calls you Donald lol

Trudeau got the memo and watched Love Actually ??\n\nThe world MUST follow Canada

Canada needs a new conservative prime minister Pierre Pollievre….Trudeau is a fool.

Trudeau a dictator himself himself sit down we fired that shameless embarrassment two months ago he screwed us by allowing unlimited economic migrants millions into Canada illegally many who illegally crossed into the US illegally they did little for years to stem the flow of hard drugs organized crime out of control clandestine drug labs all over Canada now hundreds of thousands of Canadians dead from overdose he screwed us now Trump is screwing us we are really screwed with this clown show at the helm still we should have had an election a year ago so a competent government was installed working instead the Liberal red green show is in charge

I STAND WITH CANADA !!!!!! TRUDEAU'S DOG IS SMARTER THAN DON THE CON CRIMINAL MAN !!!!!!

Trudeau isn't for the people of Canada.

I AM JEALOUS THAT WE HAVE A COMPLETE IDIOT MORON FELON AS A LEADER AND CANADA HAS Justin Trudeau, a true statesman and leader.

Say, Canada....THIS is true leadership. Trudeau is not backing down even though he will step down later this month. He truly cares, please do not discard him.

Trudeau is a fool who has made Canada the weakest country in the G7 due to his failed economic policies.

From the uk i stand by trudeau canada and zelensky of ukraine\nAgainst trump and hes puppet j d vance although im not sure wich is the puppet and wich one the muppet ?

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

As an American, I am in despair over the criminal actions of the Trump and his cronies. I wish Canada the very best in the future. I will always consider Canada and Canadians my friends. Bravo to you, Prime Minister Trudeau.

I am from Canada. Trudeau is nothing more then a wannabe dictator. I hope Trump completely destroys our economy to prove a point. That our leaders did not know what they were doing all long.

Trudeau can't promise to subsidize the Canadian factories that will shut down and the jobs that will forever be lost if Canada shuts down deliveries... HE WON'T BE IN POWER... The fact that Trudeau insinuated that President Trump is taking Putins side in the Ukraine war is insulting insulting insulting !!! President Trump wants PEACE...HE WANTS TO STOP THE DYING.. President Trump has a peaceful solution.. NO MORE BLOODSHED AND DEAD BODIES.

Trudeau is a sniveling little turd! He desperately wants to make the tariffs sound like they aren't 100% fair. Canada already taxes US imports at an average of 25%, so these US tariffs only balance the playing field. All that said, like Zelensky, Trudeau seems to forget that Canada needs the US, but the US doesn't need Canada. He says that it is going to be tough in Canada; true. On the other hand, the average American probably won't even notice a difference. But the neverending, desperate anti-Trump narrative twisting is all CNN knows.

Respect Trudeau. Respect Canada. Trump, Musk and Vance are mentally ill dictators like Putin. America by voting, choosing these people you chose this path for you a path of global isolation and division and destruction. Putin is laughing now at you America ?.

Thank you, Mr. Trudeau, many of us Americans hate this too! I appreciate you distinguishing your relationship with the American people (those of us who are not for this), from the cruel leadership in the US who are imposing these harmful policies. I admire your leadership. You are a true, dignified, level headed leader. I wish we had that here in the US. I'm so sorry for what my government is doing to Canada?

Canada is scared because they need US more then we need them. The US will feel less pain from this if Canada wants to play games. All I see is a scared Trudeau who gave a good speech

This guy does not speak for all Canadians here in Canada. He had every opportunity every opportunity to make things better with Donald Trump. They hate Donald Trump so now they use the media to attack Trump and make him look bad Justin Trudeau you’ve done nothing for Canada for the last 10 years, but put us in debt put us in financial problems put us in Criminal problems. We have rapist here that we brought to Canada terrorist that live in Canada. We are laughing country because of what you’ve done so don’t sit there and make yourself look great and brave and think that Canada’s behind you you better think again you’ve destroyed Canada now you wanna be a big man up there and podium and talk how you’re talking that you think you know Canadians and Canadians are speaking out well that’s a lie if you truly mean what you mean get rid of the carbon tax in Canada let’s start lowering gas prices in groceries. Has nothing to do with them. American people let’s start growing our own stuff in Canada that that been discussing many times and that you’ve just throw it out the window bring back our pipeline. How about that to increase cost and money in Canada again you won’t do that. We’ll have a fight with Donald Trump now I’ll tell you you won’t win. God is in control. Evil has no authority anymore and there’s nothing that these evil leads can do they’re swamp is being drained as we speak.

Canada is paradais and good bank tl for stoelen money from iran and ayatollahs of iran love trudeau .so he is not hounest person .fake CNN PROPAGANDA NEWS

I see all these other comments saying how polite and eloquent he is compared to Trump, but you can seem polite and screw people over at the same time. I'm just confused on the admiration for Trudeau in the comments, because I haven't heard anything good about him or what he's got going on. Idk, just take the tariff hit and keep moving if Canada's got everything under control. \n\nI'm open to both sides if anyone has any input. What makes the tariffs so bad, doesn't Canada have tariffs on the US?

Trudeau resigned he and the liberal progressives have destroyed the economy of Canada and he’s keeping parliament from going to the session because as soon as it does, he’s out

Trudeau for Canada....Wonderful speech Mr.Prime Minister ❤

Trudeau is a fool who we can’t stand he quit on Canada. Good riddance. Canadian here.

Trudeau shouldnt talk, he is hated by his own ppl and TRUE AMERICANS STAND WITH THE USA if you dont, you are a traitor plain and simple.. not cater to simpletons like Trudeau who has done more to censor his ppl that protests always follow him. WE the MAJORITY who VOTED for Trump, OUR POTUS is doing what we the PEOPLE want. in the end we dont need Canada, they needs us. thats just a fact. when we sell our good in Canada, they tax us up the wazoooo, and we cant do the same? fk them ... thats not fair. USA is not the world POLICE and this highway robbery from other nations has to come to a stop as we have been giving consistantly for years and been getting the shaft from numbnuts like this fool. now we have a PRESIDENT with BALLZ....... and YES i served this country... 19k tank armored crewman and i served proudly...

Trudeau will get stomped over this. America holds all the cards and Trudeau is helping poison America. We will never lose a trade war, Americas economy is ten times Canada's.

I am Canadian and I don't trust Trudeau about Fentanyl. Fentanyl is a very serious problem in Canada. You can find it in schools and around corners of almost every community. Our government has no intention to solve Fentanyl problem here. If so, its not possible to stop the flow of Fentanyl from Canada to USA.

From America: Bravo Prime Minister Trudeau. You speak for so many Americans. As an American, I see it as if Canada and the rest of the Western world are humanely looking at the big picture. Why has my country failed so completely and selfishly?

Trudeau is the epitome of a compassionate, transparent and STRONG leader. As an American, I can confirm that we have the exact opposite infesting the White House. Canada.....please proceed. Show America what the government here is REALLY about. Thank you!

very good speech from Trudeau, including a middle finger to Trump.\n\nCanada keep up, stay strong, seek other partners. As a european I'd love to work together with Canada.

Mr. Trump we thank you for dealing with our budget and splitting ties with freeloaders. Canada cant defend themselves and we dont need their bacon or anything they have at all. We have enough coal to fuel the US for over 300 years. We been subsidizing them every way and that is how they can give free healthcare and education while Americans dont have that option. Trudeau is a weak leader that wants to talk tough like Zelensky. And Americans or veterans that dont support your president is not a patriot to your country but a freeloader too. Taxpayers gave Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars under senile Biden the worst president in US history and Zelensky want us to give him more for his war to nowhere. And then Ukraine want to not repay us unlike how they got loans from the European Union. Let Russia take Ukraine because that war is not our problem, we did enough. Lets put America first and that why the country voted for Trump. And Trunp is keeping his promise. God Bless America and Trump!

Justin commie dictator trudeau broke canada

there is a reason why america can slap with tariffs we trade in USD and the fed can print USD. Canada cannot. So when you slap with tarifs Trudeau you will get massive inflation, America can always buy since we trade in USD. Meanwhile value of debt goes down in the USA.

Trudeau has his problems in Canada but all Canadians stand behind him in this moment, Canada will always stand up to bullies and tyrants like Trump and Putin. We stand for freedom and democracy.
