His only mistake was not to talk to his Canadian in the same way about the external diplomatic journey. Most Canadians voted him out because most Canadians have little to no idea how it is arround the globe, missing an overall perspective in their critic to Trudeau. Let me tell you that a lot of people changed their minds looking at his reaction to external threath posed by newly elect Trump. I allways knew Trump was bad news but never did I see a country turn it's administrative logistic into a pure representation of the cult Donald made into place. I hope my fellow friendly american get loud enought to be herd from their respective administrative leaders in your political system. Be critical, this is not what the USA is sopposed to be about.

I hope you go to jail Trudeau. You are the worst kind of dictator, a weak coward. Step down. Go dress up and be racist. You screwed all Canadians and harmed everyone waaaay before these tariffs came into effect.

Trudeau resigned because his cabinet and the majority of Canadians know he is incompetent so why is he still speaking on behalf of Canadians?

all this has done is elevate justin trudeau to a world class leader thats deeply respected in the eyes of canadians ??

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Trudeau is a joke even to Canadians , SMH. CNN

Wow. Great speech Trudeau. We can make it through this my fellow canadians. ??????

You've done nothing for Canadians, Trudeau.

I wish to side track just slightly from this videos content. This individual who calls himself the PM of Canada is nothing short of a criminal. You're listening to a child pretending to be an adult. Trudeau is the reason that freedom is vanishing from Canada. He openly admires the Communist system of China (social credit system). He has destroyed the economy of Canada all by himself. He is desperate to destroy freedom of speech and punishes all who oppose him. Please remember what Trudeau did to Canadians during the PEACEFUL trucker protest in Ottawa. He froze bank accounts for Canadians who stood by the truckers. He inposed some of the harshest lockdown measures in the world during the pandemic and he abolutely HATES democracy. Have you forgotten his blackface scandal as well? This is the face of an absolute TYRANT pretending to be a crusader for fairness. Don't forget his total ripping during the UN speech he gave about 2 years ago when foreign UN representatives tore into him for his open tyranny against Canadians. His security thugs have assulted journalists simply for asking him honest questions about the Canadian economy and now you are swayed by a suit wearing mobster. He protects terrorists across Canada while simultaneously arresting Canadians for demanding their freedom to be restored. This guy is a THUG in an expensive suit and nothing more. It's nausiating to see how quickly people forget and how easily they are swayed by a bandit in an expensive suit. WAKE UP. Trudeau is the face of evil and you admire him. Nausiating.

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

Im a Canadian and i can tell you Trudeau is a PAID ACTOR, says pretty things and does the opposite.......he only helps the lgbtqxyz+++×÷==/_%%% and Ukrainians NOT fellow day to day Canadians

VERY PROUD TO BE CANADIAN WITH THIS PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU STAND FOR CANADIANS !!!!

These comments on youtube are funny. Trudeau is the reason why Canada is economically a shell of what it was 10 years ago. Everyday canadians understand his words and threats are empty. Hes a shell puppet who is so hated in canada that he had to shut down the canadian government 2 months ago. Thats right, in a demcracy this creepy fool has shut it down to milk a few more measly months of his power before he is forced to slink away. Worse, under his watch our borders have become fentanyl ridden jokes. Less than 10 percent of anything is even inspected at our ports of entry. Human and drug trafficing is out of control. I dont like tarriff wars, but this is all trudeaus fault - every criticism of the US gov is completely valid. Canada went from #3 at the G20 to last under this guy. 90 percent of the fentanyl going into the US comes through canada.. should i go on...

All of a sudden Trudeau is talking Tuff. He put Canadians in this predicament since he has been in office with his shitty policies and how he handled covid and lack of energy investments like fuel and gas. Focusing on wind mill power, carbon tax and God knows what else.

Trudeau is making it even harder on Canada, not that he cared about canadians anyways. Like are you stupid canadians?, I think so. Sincerely from the USA

Trudeau is a Liar and a Thief. He has only Hurt Canadians. Now he is trying to pretend he is Worth Keeping around. We all know he is not. They have had Tariffs on American Products for Decades already Stop acting like a tough guy.

After trump is done destroying the US and selling everything off to the highest bidder I hope Canadians consider absorbing Minnesota into your country. We love you here! Also, you don't have to lie about trump's intellegence. He's dumb as a stump. Thank you, Trudeau, for your leadership.

Well said PM Trudeau! Canadians will not stand for these treacherous actions by Trump. I will always stand up for my country, Canada ?? and will always stand on guard for thee! ?? ? ??

Canadians are recognized for their politeness and respect. They prioritize righteousness above all else. God bless PM Trudeau, God bless Canada!

Trump extended his rudeness to all Canadians, like the country and citizens was no more than a backwater US state. Trudeau coulda referred to Trump as Donald Duck ‘da f*ck’ and it’s still more than a polite gesture in my book ?

It took 9 years and on his way out, but Trudeau finally united Canadians. Not happy about tariffs but here we are. Elbows up eh ya hosers

Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

As an American, I just want my fellow Americans to know that even Canadians don’t want Justin Trudeau. The guy’s like a malfunctioning AI chatbot—spitting out pre-programmed nonsense nobody asked for while the crowd collectively checks their watches. He’s the political version of a participation trophy: loud, useless, and only still around because no one’s taken out the trash yet. Watching him talk smack to cameras is like watching a mime in a hurricane—pointless, painful, and embarrassing for everyone involved.

We don’t dislike American people; we dislike Donald Trumps attitude towards Canada! ?? \n\nWe’ve already started to boycott American food & other products in our grocery stores! \n\n“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!”\n~Justin Trudeau\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!\n\nGod help us all!

Trudeau already said this nonsense last month. Virtually the same tariffs. Same points. \n\nCanada’s economy is down too and has been for a long time. \nTheir stock market is low. \nTheir RE is too high for its citizens. \n \nThey can’t win a tariff war due to attrition. And Canadians can ban together to not shop American as they been doing already. \nAnd none of you on this platform can do anything about that either. \nY’all can stand with Canada as much as you like. That doesn’t dismiss the fact that their tariffs on America was higher than America’s tariffs on Canada prior to this “tariff war”. \nAlso ya’ll can’t denounce citizenship and migrate over to Canada. Because they will not accelerate their process for citizenship. And will not accept the infinite number of you all.

Border in Canada is not secure. More than 1% comes through our border.\n\nThe 1.4 billion TALK of border bs, is sll talk! Nothing has been passed! Just talk. They've fine nothing because Trudeau suspended parliament do he wont lose an election.\n\nNone of the stuff he spoke of is implemented, NOTHING!\n\nDrop in seizures lol so you missed it before, but now you're missing more! Lol it's absurd. He doesn't protect us, he allows illegal guns in our cities, while banning legal firearms we use to protect ourself, banned!! From LAW ABIDING CITIZENS!!!\n\nTRUDEAU IS NOT OUR LEADER, HES A TREASONOUS POS!\n\nMore idiots, leading us into wars that cannot be won! Fk off Trudeau, get back to work!\n\nElection NOW!!! YOU LYIMG POS. Stand up for Canadians lol like the frozen bank accounts of truck drivers who rejected your illegal UNSCIENTIFIC MANDATES!! \n\nLIE LIE LIE, LIE ENOUGH, I GUESS HE BELIEVES HIS OWN BS!!

Trudeau tucked up canada.. we canadians don't trust him.. canadian economy is worst in decaded and the country will be on knees in few months.

As unpopular Trudeau is in Canada, he is 1000 times better than Madman Trump. Canadians should appreciate what they have

Booo, not a fan of Trudeau. Most Canadians I know aren’t either.

Trudeau is a clown & crook took all his bank accounts of Truckers protest him . He should be in jail for that .He done a terrible job . He got in an airplane right way to DC to see Pres Trump when he won the election . Before & Now With new Tariffs Canadians don’t like Trudeau . They want him out so bad ! He was a cov fool.

Who cares what Trudeau think, he is irrelevant. Canadians want him out of office so life can be more affordable.

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

Brought a tear to my eye. Thank you for being decent PM Trudeau. Americans love Canadians too. Trust and believe it..

Trudeau, focus on fixing your own country first. The high taxes, the massive carbon taxes that Canadians do not want, and the rising grocery and housing prices are becoming unbearable. Stop shifting blame onto President Trump. While he works hard for his country, you should be doing the same for yours.

Im Canadian and let me tell you, the hatred for Trudeau was everywhere. And Pierre Polieve was a shoe in. Since Trump started all this trade war stuff, a lot of us are looking at Trudeau differently. Its almost like Trump is doing this to make us Canadians like Trudeau again lol

I thought Canadians hated Trudeau ? Or is their hate for Trump grater like brainwashed Americans?

Trudeau your kinda help Canadians already felt during covid and now Canadians are broke and now you expect Canadians to believe in your lies again?????

Don't buy Canadian Bacon, Maple Syrup and other Canadian goods. Canada is NOT the closest ally of the US and has long in fact been like the Karen nation of North America who is massively passive aggressive to the US, and outright hatred for the US is rampant among many Canadians. 25 percent 155 billion which is dwarfed by the trade imbalance of the many billions more of Canadian goods that go to the US, mostly it is American Alcohol that goes to Canada, to fuel the drunks of Canadian society, so Homeless alcoholics in Canada might truly suffer. How is more sobriety a bad thing Trudeau? This might be fantastic for people who drink alcohol to make a break with the booze they have been needing. \n\nThe rest of us, who don't buy Canadian goods nor own or invest in American alcohol won't feel anything. In fact we pay more for mailing stuff to Canada from the Canadian postal service. \n\nWe learned not to mail stuff to Canada. We are ok now living with that limitation.

Mr. Trudeau, As an American who has never voted for Trump, I apologize for the person we currently have in the White House, and wish Canada and Mexico the best. Do what you have to do, and hopefully it will cause enough disruption that Trump will have to retreat. Most of us consider Canadians and Mexicans our friends. A lot of people in the US are contacting our representatives in Congress, participating in economic boycotts, and joining groups like the ACLU that are bringing lawsuits against some of the actions that have already occurred. God bless Canada and Mexico!

I don’t like Trudeau. I don’t like the way his country is suffering under his rule - by that I mean the poverty the Canadians are living in whilst he takes expensive vacations and eats 5 star food - and I agree more with the opposition. I also don’t like the black face joke he pulled years ago. But in this instance, against the trump administration, I fully support and agree with what he is saying. This is the stupidest trade war in history. This is going to screw up all countries involved. Stand for democracy!

Like Trudeau cares about his fellow Canadians! What an asshole! Trudeau's just as bad as Biden, actually worse!

Good for you, Trudeau! Trump despises the vast majority of Americans and happily destroys our lives. Thank you for standing up to his cruelty and stupidity. Canadians are lucky to have you and your intelligent cohort fighting against our monstrous president. And many of us truly admire you & your partners.

Native Floridian in the US here sending big hugs out to Canadians and Prime Minister Trudeau, Ukraine and President Zelenskyy, and Mexico and La Presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum❣️ I wish my one vote and activism had been enough to stop the re-election of such a horrid, arrogant individual back into our WH. It all makes sense if he is aligning us with Russia

I'm a Canadian who has always voted for Prime Minister Trudeau and I will continue to vote liberal. I heard a person on the Jake Tapper, C NN, this afternoon say all the companies are coming to the USA not Canada, he didn't mention that they come because they don't have to pay a lot of taxes. Us Canadians take great offense that the spawn of the devil wants to annex our country and he refers to our Prime Minister as governor. The orange dumb criminal and his maggots would probably give part of our country to snakehead war tyrant putin who has interest in the Artic and that would involve Greenland. We Canadians don't want to make life difficult for the American people but the dumb evil cheeto likes tariffs. President Zelenski didn't start the war and he won't be the one to start WW3. putin is a war criminal who controls the criminal organization in the White House and it's leader. President Zelenski be careful the spawn of the devil ? and war tyrant can't be trusted. ?????

funny how the dictator talks about putin as a dictator. funny how so many canadians want trudeau OUT of office because of his totalitarian edicts especially during covid. hypocrisy is not pretty

Trudeau driving Canada further into the poor house again, giving Canadians the finger before he is FINALLY gone for good !!

OK woke Trudeau, who is about to get replaced - remove tariffs targeting US businesses for the last 3 decades, like the 200%+ tariff on dairy products from USA, then we can talk\n\n...and YES we will deal with Russia because they are the only country who didn't take a red cent of aid from USA - their fertilizer is far cheaper than Canada's fertilizer.\n\nI'm speaking to Canadians - especially the truckers whose bank accounts Trudeau froze - vote out the woke Canadian government!\n\nAs far as CNN goes, you are traitors - you would betray USA because the dummy you wanted to win failed against Trump.\n\nThe stock market going down has far more to do with short supply of chips - that is why tech companies were hit heaviest. Last time I checked, Canada doesn't make chips.

Prime minister Justin Trudeau is an excellent example of an elected parliamentarian stranding up for Canadians and defending Canada ?? ???. Some canadians who wanted Trudeau to resign will regret later. Trump knows that Trudeau is a strong leader.

Canadian here. Wake up Canadians. Many people are praising Trudeau for this speech. Don't. He is out as Liberal leader within the week. He doesn't have to follow through on anything he said. Plus, he just stated that he's smart enough to suggest that Trump just put a 25% tax on Canadian goods for Americans but he also thinks that you are dumb enough not to realize that he just put a 25% tax on Canadians for American goods. Trudeau basically created the situation for these tariffs (open border to let anyone come here). He loves this as he gets to take the apparent moral high ground for the first time in his life and wants this speech to be the way he is remembered rather than years of failing Canada. Forget about the last 9 years and vote Liberal if you are a fool.
