Don't get it, twisted, Trudeau. You've been screwing Canada over for 9 years, so why do you suddenly care now? You and Carney, and your gimp guilbeault with your carbon tax and doubling of rent and mortgages and groceries has been hurting Canadian families, but now Trump is doing this, and you're acting like a hero or are you just jealous because somebody else is beating on Canadians instead of just you, or is it because it's going to leave you with less of our tax dollars to launder?!

I despise Trump fiercely and, I'm Canadian, and I strongly dislike Trudeau....but I love his response. \nWe owe Trump for one thing:\nOther than his mindless minions here, he's united Canada more than we have been for a long time.

Trudeau is a great leader. I’m so sorry for what our loser Trump is doing. I do want Canada to know that Americans are feeling all the bad things that Trump is doing. We cannot let this continue.

Trudeau for US President, lol. Great way to stand up for your country. Wish Donald would do the same. American’s standing with Canada.

As an American who has pride for our military and Canadian heritage, I stand behind PM Trudeau’s decision. He’s just playing defense. Like he said, the US and Canada are not just border allies, they have been our greatest friend. \nIf you are Canadian, please know not all of us voted for this clown who is ruining our country. From North Carolina

Trudeau just stop the drug trafficking and both countries will not be harmed. Let's be honest, Canada needs us as much as we need them. Stop all this posturing!

I think Trudeau missed the memo on what reciprocal tariffs mean! By the way we don't need Canadas energy when they Say they're going to so-called turn off the energy to America that means literally nothing five minutes of research will tell you that the United States does not need Canadas energy! Absolute empty threat!\n\nBy the way to anybody in the comments section that doesn't know what they're talking about and just listens to cnn so far these tariffs have secured 1.7 trillion US dollars in just three months brought manufacturing back to the United States honda is now leaving their location in Canada and building in the United States same with American car manufacturers in Mexico. \n\nWe won and I find this so funny you guys are flipping out we have socalled Americans joining Canada's side just because they're anti Trump. absolute clowns!

What a farce! Trudeau must get off the American media! He has stepped down as PM therefore no longer represents Canada ?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, what is happening in America under Trump is catastrophic! He is not only destroying our relationships with allies like Canada, he is destroying every facet of our government agencies that he can. Trump is Hitler 2.0 and as an American, I am resolved to fight back! I am not alone, 81% of us are angry at what we see happening. It feels like we are watching Pearl Harbor’s attack, only instead of this attack being from a foreign country, it’s being done by our own President whose target is America, her people and our world allies. \nWe are sorry for how he is hurting you. I don’t know how we will stop him, but I can assure you we will!

I’m from Canada love u Trudeau. I voted 4 u every. Time u have my support

what a corrupt twat.. the worst that Canada has seen in his history.. Trudeau you're a criminal

Pierre is coming - just wait , Trudeau just go already , Pierre will fix this huge mess and make Canada great again

Will Trudeau pull a putin and name himself president of canada with carney as PM? Fjt ?

Trudeau is full of it. His domestic record does not align with this speech, nor does Canada’s economic record, over taxation, and censorship policies add up to the kind of Canadian utopia he describes. I won’t even get into the embarrassing behaviours on the world stage, hypocritical actions towards women, the endless scandals, corruption, and fallout from covid.

Here is another voice from Germany. Canada is a dream country in Europe. People like the Canadians, their independence and thoughtfulness. There are ideas that in this time of change we will find partners in Europe who represent our values ​​- welcome Canadians! - thx Mr. Trudeau for your strong words!

PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU - WHAT A REAL LEADER LOOKS LIKE. The big difference between Canada and the US is that the Canadian gov will be there to support it's people during this time and our White House will do NOTHING to help Americans -as a matter of fact they will treat us worse. TRUMP DID THIS - TRUMP HAS TO GO - before we lose everything we have worked for for over 200 years!!!

Call that orange ass out. Tell the US citizens exactly what he is doing. Well done PM Trudeau. Elbows up, we are going over the boards Canada.

Now, in my opinion that is what presidential resembles and looks like.Thank you canada and trudeau

The cock jockey Trudeau knows Canada's economy will be destroyed ?

Trudeau resigned as prime minister because he was deeply unpopular in Canada. He proceeded to suspend parliament while President Trump threatened these Tariffs and then immediately left to Europe to posture with European leaders. He did absolutely nothing to strengthen the US/Canadian relationship while his party set about appointing (not electing) a new leader. Trudeau is an actor and a hypocrit. Do not believe anything he says. Now I don't agree with President Trump's tariffs on American allies like Canada. I don't understand the metrics he's using to justify them. Maybe there is a real reason, but this fool that you're listening to has not represented Canada faithfully and I reject everything he says.

This New Yorker loves Trudeau and Canada!

TRUDEAU HAS BEEN FORCED TO STEP-DOWN AS PRIME MINISTER BECAUSE HE HAS DESTROYED CANADA AND MADE US COMPLETELY VULNERABLE TO ANY TRADE WAR WITH THE USA!

The days of canada, and the rest of the world, crapping on the US are over. Good riddance to trudeau.

The disrespect given by Trudeau will result very badly for Canada and Canadians!

A shame Trudeau is stepping down. Canada and the world will miss him as a global statesman at this time.

Trudeau speaks the Truth. This American stands with Canada, Europe and Ukraine. The current U.S. President and his administration has betrayed the American People, our Friends and our Allies.

You may not want it, but it is necessary to wake you up. Get other trade partners, DO NOT DEPEND ON THE US. Canada needs to close its borders to illegals , curb the asylum and refugees. Strengthen your Armed Forces.. Get out of the FIVE EYES. Concentrate on the infrastructure, housing, food safety. And do not refer to US as a friend. Cannot be any worse than it is. If only you did not go down to Mara La Go. Matter of days before you leave Trudeau. Think what havoc you created.

This idiot already quit, no one is listening to anything Trudeau has to say. Tariffs on the Americans only costs Canadians more, tariffs on Canadians make Canadians pay more. So you see, Liberals have to go, then tariffs go away. CANADA CAN NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT AMERICAN MARKETS LET THAT SINK IN. Cancelled pipeline, not paying up in NATO, not stopping drug flow, not fair in trade to the USA 200 billion in difference, you see the Liberals are in panic mode and its all their fault starting with his word salad speechs that mean nothing.

TRUDEAU’s government has made Canada more vulnerable than ever before! Trudeau has scared away investment, carbon tax has chased away industry to non-carbon tax countries. Canada’s over dependence on the USA market and cancelling pipelines has left us without alternative trading partners! Trudeau has destroyed Canada a lot more than Trump!

Don't be fooled by Trudeaus lies.We have done nothing to address the issues. This so-called fentynl czar has kept a really low profile. We've heard nothing action oriented. The 1 percent statistic is also fabricated and misrepresents. Look at the massive drug lab busted in BC that had the potential to kill all of Canada many times over. Trudeau is like the wizard. Don't pay attention to the man behind the curtain.

Like him or not, Trudeau is just and right. Trump seem like a spoiled 6th grader. The whole world (minus dictators) sees Canada as strong and intelligent. Trump is weak.

Premier Trudeau, please realize that Trump does not speak for the vast majority of the people of the USA!!! We love Canada and we love the people of Canada and we love to visit your beautiful Country!!! So please remember that Trump was elected based on lies and a minority of our citizens!!!

Liarliarliar trudeau you nevervdid f-al in canada till trump came along.you trudeau are the scumb at the border. Your terrorists are still in canada. And you thief WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK. NOW PLEASE READ TRUMP trudy is as corrupt as they come ?. He has admitted he hates canada and us canadians? He is crying to be cummunist like daddy castro. His momma told us about the real Dada congradulations trudy. Govto cuba

Hey Canada, get rid of corrupt and incompetent Trudeau. Replace him with someone honest and competent and watch what happens ???

Nothing blistering here. Just a pathetic attempt to hold onto what he has left. Canada has been trying to show Trudeau the door for some time.

So proud of Trudeau. Stand firm, Canada. America is in the hands of a Russian operative.

Trudeau is not weak like Trump. He is not a bully. Don't mess with Canada..we don't have big Army but...we will still not back down to a bully.

Trump says tariffs on Canada will increase if Canada imposes retaliatory tariffs.\n\n“Governor Trudeau” ?

Fidel Trudeau?? resigned cuz of Trump???. We dont even want him in Canada? hi poll numbers are dreadful?. So DJT shouldnt even care about little dictator.

I’m American, all the way down in Alabama, and I support Canada and Trudeau 100%.

Trudeau didn't mention the 23% carbon tax coming to Canada April 1st. On top of the other carbon tax increases. Make that make sense! U.S lucky they dud not implement this garbage under Biden.

❤Canada ❤Love from Germany ❤Mr. Trudeau you are great and I love Mélanie Joly ❤Really ❤

Trudeau is a true leader. What a mess the convicted felon has gotten us into. Hoping Canada will offer asylum if needed, to the men and women of the USA that have been fighting against f45 since 2015.

Trudeau literally resigned he needs to step down, he is responsible for much more damage to Canada than any Tarrifs. Spewing bull shit as usual

I thought governor Trudeau already resigned ?. Surprised to see him on screen again. He's more worried about the people of USA than Canada which is already in crisis. ?

Trudeau has been the PM of Canada since 2015. Through some very challenging times but now he is rising to meet the most serious issue of his leadership. He has unified the country against a troublesome individual.

Trudeau was so successful as PM of Canada, that the Canadian ppl voted him out.. and now I'm expected to believe that he has Americas interests at heart? sounds like he is pleading his case so they don't lose their biggest consumer/investor... he sounds like a child trying to convince his parents that he should be allowed to have their friends spend the night.

This is a great speech by Trudeau! He has the perfect tone and sounds like the leader a nation would want at this time in history. Must be nice. This is what MAGA wanted. Let them enjoy it and all its repercussions! Will always love you Canada! Hopefully you forgive the half of our populations who despise this moronic, obese turd. The other half do not deserve your forgiveness!

My only criticism is that Trudeau should have said the tariffs imposed by Trump, rather than the US. Not all Americans support Trump and maybe they’ll need Canada’s help to throw out the garbage one day soon.

Bravo for mr. Trudeau ❤❤❤\nLove for Canada ❤❤❤\nFrom Belgium.
