We call it Singh hortons. Not tim hortons now

As a Canadian. This is it. Tyler nailed it. It takes an American to call it as it is. I could shake Tyler's hand, well done.

But he still needed to call tariffs what they are: a new tax on Americans

Hey Canada who you going to call for protection

Calls him a friend and stupid and a Putin puppet. Wow. Trudeau thinks he can survive with this attitude

From Germany:\nRespect for this speech by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.\nWe Germans know such master races who think they can enslave and subjugate a people.\nWe are still suffering from it more than 100 years after the Hitler putsch in Munich. At that time, the NSDAP wanted to overthrow the Bavarian government and then seize power; that was the first attempt, but the second one unfortunately succeeded.\nNow we see how this is repeating itself in America, how an orange-faced clown wants to rule the world and change it.\nThere were some powerful men at Hitler's side, but the really dangerous ones were the followers, the so-called little people who had no say and finally got power over other people (neighbors, friends).\nThese little traitors who spied on people were the worst of all.\nWatch out in America!

George from UK, I love the direct call out of this dictator. No one is an island who can operate alone without the rest, especially those long-time allies. It is a dumb thing to rise against your friends. Why do you have to rake up enemies, even from allies? South Africa, Ukraine, Canada?

From America - Mr. Trudeau, thank you. We stand with you, a rational, just man. We know what you're saying is true. At this time, I wish you were our president. Side note- I called canada last week to find out how I could get a visa because I want out of this country. ❤

What I like about Justin is that he is clear, concise and talking WITHOUT cue cards. He does not lower his IQ with elementary antics of NAME CALLING like DT seems to often do. \n\n?

How can you call us a friend you buy nothing from us you make it hard for us to sell in your country. but yet we import all your goods. Taking advantage of us is not being a friend.

This so called stand up guy that’s done as PM in 3 days pledged another 5 billion to Ukraine and announced a 120 billion light rail train in the past 3 weeks and is putting the 4th carbon tax on us April 1 so this speech to me is obsurd - Danielle smith went right to trump and got oil reduced to 10% shoulda follow her lead Trudeau

You know how big Trump's ego is. Calling him dumb is extremely stupid move.

Perfect -- call him Donald and call him Dumb

Tramp just called dumb Justin got some steel balls?

A Trade war is a wake up call . Historical Friendship in tatters .. USA becoming inwards looking to Clean House ??

More leader need to speak this frankly to Trump and call out his bs and out and out lies. Everyone one with a brain can see Trump is an crazy narcissist who knows nothing about running a country for the people and it’s best interest, or understands what tariffs actually are and how they work. Trump only sees what Trump can gain personal and for his rich buddies.

Trudeau should call Trump, it's set so high at 25 to make some sort of deal. I get the impression that Trump would like Canada to set up some shops in the US and get some benefits to help build the shops. When a new tariff is put in place, you have to call Trump to remove the tariff like last time.

You know it's a libtard news agency calling this harsh language. Your president and vice president used alot harsher language ?

I agree with every word! \nMy respect for the ones that has the guts to say it like it is!! \nThinking a bit further: I hope this has no consequences.\n\nAn unpredictable narcististic fool that call the shots makes no better choices for anyone but himself (so he thinks)\nIf the best way to silence a bully is too ignore him, he'll never shut up, 'cause it's not possible.\nMy God, does he ever just shut the f*ck up...\nHe doesn't deserve any attention, negatif nor positive \nUnfortunatly that's not an option. \nWhen we can't ignore him, is it wise to react by telling him that he's stupid? He likes being called out. Give him something to react so he has an excuse to do more stupid things. As narcististic as he is, he will (logicaly/probably/likely) react as a stupid bully....so we're feeding him. Any attention feeds the bully. \nHe seemes to love the negatif, but there's nothing positive to say.\nShould we than speak anything at all?\nNow is the time for the smartest diplomats to come together \nGood Luck everybody ?

He called pootin a murderous dictator. Why don't more world leaders do this?

Wow, Trudeau called the president Trump by his first name and then called him dummy. What a leader Trudeau is, a real model for the rest of the world. He is so brave and courageous. Uhhhh.. actually he is a -wether- and he is just too stupid and blind to know it.

Amd calling trump a dictator when this guy literally took away yall freedom of speech in part is crazy

Australia??here, great speech Prime Minister Trudeau. America has a strong history with its allies UK, Canada, Japan and Australia but these tariffs undermine these relationships and call into question America's trustworthiness going forward. America will become increasingly isolated which plays directly into China's and Russia's interests.

Wow, Trump is making some huge progress for the USA, in less than a month he has upset more countries, of which were mostly allies of America, and turned them into anti Americans and all in less than a month, and he calls that progress into making America great again .. maga ? Really or maybe it stands for making a globe angry. There’s only a very small handful of people that actually like Trump, that’s his family (debatable) JD (his puppet) and Putin (his new ally) wow America what have you done ??

I TRULY HOPE THE BEST TO ALL NATIONS WORLDWIDE! I honestly feel ashamed of this circus, I am supposed to call my government. DELUSIONAL DON....THE NEW PANDEMIC

trudeau is proven a back stabber in many diplomacy. canada is never a fair country but slave to US master. They obey all US demands even has fake democracy. Under US order, canada imprisoned or held anyone who are innocent and has nothing against canadian law. trudeau isnt polite but too rude with calling other murderous dictator when he is also a real proven dictator. Has he forgotten canada has murdered, colonize, terrorize, destroy, plunder, rob, bullt, gangster other countries too with US master. Shame on trudeau incompetence and still talk rubbish till today.

And Jesus, why are you talking around it? Call that stupid MO Fo out! Talk around it, God! Stop Trump or we're gonna be a communist country! WAKE UP American press, we the people ate watching, speak up or you too will have a FAFO moment! I stand with Canada, elbows up!

Canada is not the USA it is part of something much greater it is called the Commonwealth the United States may be failing it's empire declining because of one man I am Australian two countries you can always count on and they are the United Kingdom and Australia

I liked the way he called Trump ? he’s a true leader ?

you call Putin a lying ,murderous dictator but Neytanyahu the prime minister of Israel who is committing a genocide is an angel .What a joke .An advice look after Canadians because what you have done to this beautiful country is mind blowing and pretty sad .

Trudeau call and election you goof we are tired of your communist dictatorship.

DONALD ... THANK U !!!!!!! FOR NOT CALLING HIM PRESIDENT HE IS A CRIMINAL...FELON

Call him out

As an American, I’m deeply sorry for what we’ve become by electing this orange idiot into the White House. I stand with Canada, Mexico, Ukraine, and the rest of our global allies in opposition to our “president’s” bent to authoritarianism and isolationism. I truly hope that we can course correct before we (globallly) plunge into something much darker. \n\nKudos to prime minister Trudeau and other leaders speaking truth and calling the situation we’re now in for what it is.

Blistering, I wouldn't call Trudeau blistering, more like blustering.\n\nThe Canadians will be hurt more by the tariffs than Americans. ?

His mistake in this speech was calling Trump smart. Why would he say that!?!? Trump is not smart.\nUS citizen here, and I’m all for every country standing against the Trump administration, even at our detriment.

Lack of respect calling him Donald plus calling him dumb. You are Sooo going to regret this!

This retired US Navy combat veteran stands w all our brother & sisters in Canada, Ukraine, Mexico, Europe, NATO, etc!\nLet’s all call him “Donald “. or Trump, ANYTHING but President ?☮️???

Joker??? dictator Trudeau calling other dictator

Love him or hate him, this was great and what a master class level troll. \n1. No reference to “president” \n2. Called him Donald, which trump hates\n3. Said what he was doing was dumb\n4. Spoke in super simple language - notice how he dummied right down when addressing trump

Reciprocal tarrifs. There is nothing wrong with it. It's called fair trade.

Trudeau’s words mean nothing directed towards the USA.. He is as we call it in the US in Lame Duck.. He is irrelevant.

Trump is a Russian asset and his sole goal(or the goals of his puppet masters) is to destabilize his country and the whole Western world. A couple of months ago I would call this a silly fable but right now i cannot see any other reasonable explanation. He cannot possibly be this stupid.

while trudea claims to care about the drug smuggling to americans who does trudeau think these tarriffs will affect the hardest\nthe drug addicted poor of course\nthey will suffer the most\nso trump and trudeau are combining efforts to cause more grevious harm to people with problems in this case drug problems\nits american cia that supplies these drugs to americans along with the dea and local police forces\nthe supplier of drugs can not also be expected to stop the flow of drugs to americans this is the real reason america is so devestated by illegal drugs\namerica is truly at war with america\nnow trump is in direct war against the american poor\nto increase their pain\nits a christian sadistic its sadism christian style\nthey call it tough love\nthats idiocracy\nits full blown sadism

Why is the office called 'fentanyl Tzar'? \nThis feels absurd.\n\nTzar, being the slavic interpretation of the religious office of the head of the eastern orthodox Christian church, headed by, for political reasons, the byzantine emperor. \nThe byzantines being the sucessor of the Roman empire, of which the emperor was unofficially referred to as the sucessor of Caesar, who was not the first or last Dictator of Rome.\n\nWhy does Canada have a Tzar of anything?

Remember all the discussions and debate about implementing tariffs on our closest trade partners and allies during the campaigning of the last election. I don’t either…. That must have been discussed on a private call with Putin. Makes no sense otherwise. This is terrible for US end the west overall.

Call Trump a dictator Trudeau then you’ll earn Canadian respect

and yet you called the unvaccinated racist...please dont pretend you stand for us, when all you have have for a decade plus is divide and tax the crap out of us...the election coming will show just how unfavourable your leadership is for the average canadian...you even have the audacity to shut down our parliament right now, because you need another vacation...sick.

trudeau suggesting his meeting with the king is out of context with modern reality\na shared interest in historical ties with england\nwe all know england has a very dark past of savagery and inhumanity and of course religious intolerance\ninhumanity on an unbelievable scale\ntrump would be honered to have participated in englands past\ntrudeau should chose his words more carefully\nits not possible to make a case for humanity whilst including a very dark relationship with jolly old england whom by the way is stuck in its gory past\nthese tariffs will not effect those who are imposing them mostly they will affect those already struggling\nso again trudeau is not really making a good case for humanity\nin fact it looks more like a willful and willing game of tit for tat with trump\nwhile the only injured will be the poor\nit looks more like trudeau is in partnership with trump and putin aligned against the poor\nhow can any one call this good diplomatic strategy while the politicians stay high and dry\nwhile the poor are left damp in spirit\ntrudeau is no political genuis unless his real pact is with trump albeit still no genuis simply a coconspirator against the turf by the aristocracy which of course england by all means claims for itself with its castle slash dungeonary past\nthe cries of many still ring out across the green rolling hills of england even after a thousand years\ntyrants they are\nengland shall never escape its past

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤
