Same thing is happening here in Australia, and New Zealand. Which are both constitutional monarchies just as Canada is.. It's no "coincidence"

WE ARE NOT GOING TO AMERICA, DUE TO 1 PERSON! WE HAVE NEW ALLIES, ACROSS THE WORLD! WHEN HE GOES THINGS WILL CHANGE!

South African here.......such a great speech! My Dad fought in WW2 & he always had great things to say about the Canadians they fought alongside. Stay strong Canadians ❤

Perfect words to label convicted felon no 47 as dumbest thing on earth to pick a fight with neighbour Canada??.

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?

Support to Canda from Chile ??. I have friends and I do business in Canada and the US, even I liked Trump, but now things just became crazy with the US government.

When it comes to trade aggreement if you want to be in a position where you have the maximum advantage you have to do the not so friendly but the right thing. Donald Trump is a business man so this is not a surprise.

I’m embarrassed living in the country. Still proud to be in America, it’s just disgusting to see what is going on. All of us do not agree with this and many other terrible things that are going on. I stand with Canada. This current US administration is a disgrace.

This is really a long conversation about this topic.A new way of thinking in how we are feeding our selfs in house, not by import and export most of the time.. We can not have balance and still do things the old way. The old way is going to fall sooner or later. The more we understand that and adjust, the better we will do in each of our countries.

??? it’s so interesting being able to see things in a different perspective. I’m so glad Trump became the president again. My family’s wealth has tripled in just 24 hours. It’s beautiful. This is only the beginning ???

I love this speech even American are in shock because this is not what they expected from President Trump, and Trudeau just concluded it all it was the dumpiest thing Donald did and this will affect American harshly...Donald is chasing ghost and he might be the one who is going to bring prophecies to past.

As soon as Trudeau is gone, things will get better.

Well done Canada! We love and support you! We had to go through a virus pandemic, a War, and now a trade war, what madman would do such a horrible thing for the people around the world?! There’s no peace as long as the political system stays the same! Horrible! This is what Russia and China want all along ! They wanted everyone to go against the US! Trump has shot himself and his policies on the foot and it will be dire for the US in the long run! OMG

Can’t even name a single thing donald did???love it

My god.. Trudeau doing the right thing in the way everyone think it should be done. No one will need to ‘translate’ this to Trump.

Trump is destroying everything for the american prople. The only thing that is anti american is everything Trump is doing in the oval office with his decisions and choices

Maybe it's just about money. You can earn money on the stock market from both falling and rising prices. You just have to know in advance how the markets will react to certain announcements. The same thing works with Bitcoin and other crypto currencies. Here you can make billions for your own pocket. Think about it...

Fighting with American is the dump thing to do as a prime minister Trudeau.

Yep Trudeau he only understands one syllable words. Saying big things gor his attention. The rest someone else will have to show Donald a comic book sketch.

Im not even an american but i know what trump is doing, all Americans who believe justin and what he is saying about trade war and he said usa will lose doesn't understand how things work.. You really believed your government didn't study this?

Canada uses tariff on US for a long time. Why is it that when US does the same thing it’s not right?

I feel his sinceriy for the people, not just for Canadians. Im from Philippines but I hope things will turn for good for both neighboring country.

You can tell immediately when he starts speaking to Trump, because the language gets simple and dumbed down. 'Big things', 'greater things' and 'smart guy' is exactly the kind of language that appeals to Trump.

I agree with Trudeau on this one, even though he is a clown on other things.

American here. My take? This is not about protectionism this is about isolationism. \nWhy would Trump want this? This is about becoming the first American dictator of the Western Hemisphere. \nHyperbolic? Nope. Trump controls the Senate, House, Doge, Project 2025 is in the White House, all the branches of the Defense Department, the Attorney General and his offices, six of the nine seats on the Supreme Court, and assigned over 250 Federal judgeships to the Federal courts which are a lifetime appointment. The ONLY thing that is standing in the way of Trump are the Federel judges that actually understand the constitution and do not want to destroy this nation. The fly in the ointment? Courts can issue an order based on the constitution or our laws, but does not have any way to enforce them if Trump should just disregard their order. That is how close we are to a dictatorship.\nWake Up America.?\n P.S. Sorry Canada! Coalesce, find new trade partners, and leave the United States behind. We are no longer worthy of your friendship.

Unforeseen circumstances. The worst thing. selling gas and oil to turkey or is it the best thing. Well it will change everything either way. The rabbit hole.

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

From Germany: Great speech Mr. Trudeau. So clear. I feel you are really worrying about the canadian people and you are doing the right thing to get the US back on a rational track.

Trump knows it’s not about fentanyl. He wants your country and your resources. He’s a Russian asset. Dangerous man. Him and Putin work together. Don’t give Trump a damn thing!!!!!!!

If America's actions only harmed Americans that would be one thing. But it is dragging down everyone in the world too.

The only thing that's going to pay for that little wagging d*ck power monger is The People. So proud of tariffs and snubbing cooperative relationship. All the leaders are like, 'I see your tariff and raise it 5%.' So proudly talking about agreements = tariffs. The only profiteers from this are gov'ts and bribe takers. Capitalism swallows itself.

Why didn’t he secure the border long time ago? Why did he wait for trump to impose tariffs for him to act on things?

Unfortunately those that did not vote Trump will be collateral damage but when someone is too proud and arrogant you can’t tell them anything… they have to be humbled by their choices... One thing I learned is ppl have to burn to learn in the country. It’s best for all Trump voter to feel the impact of the choice they made since they hate facts let them experience the truth.

of course europeens like this. but in europe you go to jail for things you say.

This is the best thing anybody can do if tou imposed a war on him.\n*Stand with Canada*

The thing about it is.. Is all this really real or not? I feel like it's all a conspiracy

When will the world understand that the angry orange, just like it's big daddy Poo Tin will always want more and more and more untill there is nothing left to give...sucked dry. After which they will discard you like a crushed can.\n\nHe, like his owner, Poo Tin, only recognises 2 things:\n\nComplete submission, after which he will devour or enslave you as a pet. Or overwhelming strenght...\n\nTrump does not know about integrative negociations, he only does distributive negociations... He only deals in absolutes... And we know who deals in absolutes.\n\nThat filth disgusts me!

Who cares what he has to say the Duke completely destroyed the Canada what do you think about what he did to Canada and all his woke mentality and is transgenderism and his whole whole thing he did to destroy that country with his woke crap World economic Forum crap Joe Biden liberal leftist crap that's what he did and and then who cares what he has to say about what Donald Trump is doing and who cares what he has to say about tariffs who cares what he has to say he's a crook he's a criminal and you left this liberal media want to all Trudeau who cares he's a stupid coward

Well if hes going to talk like that all governor positions are off the table for him...\nMaybe Putin will catch Trudeaus ankle with an umbrella end and ding dong the witch is dead. ?\nFunniest thing is he says prices are expected to rise for Americans . Through tariffs right?\nSo then he matches those tariffs. So i guess Canadians can expect the same old bs from him.\nBC legalized fentynol! They found a giant fentynol lab out there. Imagine how many more there are! \nCrack heads all over our major cities in Canada. Jobs are down, economy is down, human rights is down. But he has nice socks.

Hey Trudeau. I don’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth. You have had a decade to improve things and you have done nothing but the complete opposite on purpose. Go away!

So, he's just going to do the same thing as trump? If tariffs from trump are hurting US citizens, won't that hurt canada even more as well?

Most Americans don't agree with Trump, we will no doubt see the Dems take over next election. Can't wait for things to get back to normal, I was a Republican until last week.

Cheers from Belgium!! This is how a TRUE leader speaks! Time to remove that rotten orange out of the fruit bowl! Only thing he wants is the minerals of Ukraine, together with the Russians.

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen Trudeau say sound and good things. When he actually works on sensible action instead of hyper liberal silliness, that's great. He comes across really well here.

Only wicked president businessman will do stupid things like starting to burn the bridge

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

I effectively spent a chunk of my childhood in America with relatives. I treasured these memories, but now all the feelings of wonder and happiness when thinking of my visits to America have faded. Now I just think of how selfish it was to sabotage Canada. American private equities want to rock our system and buy up all they can and so I am happy we are watching for this. I think Donald did this to try and buy up Canadian companies. This should be made illegal. I am willing to suffer for up to pull the plug on all resources and energy going to America “suddenly” do they have no time to adapt and collectively suffer. We even produce the ingredient you need for your nuclear weapons and otherwise need to get this from Russia. Canada has the ability to help our allies get nuclear weapons to protect against “America as our #1 enemy now”. Will we share too secret info with you when Trump clearly seems to be working with Russia? Putin dream for NATO to break down and now Trump ours that I to action . Trump wants everyone to spend money on military to fuel the American military industrial complex, something each and every huge tech company you have participated. You have essentially been taken over by a global entity that doesn’t care about democracy. We are going to manufacture our own weapons to have zero dependency on America. That makes no sense to buy weapons from the country threatening to invade you. \n\nHow will America feel to be totally alone in the global stage all under the power of one unstable man with multiple personality disorders. Trump things Putin is Americas friend and meanwhile in Russian media America spoken of as enemy number one. Meanwhile, America is 30% full of people with such little education in politics that they do not even know what is considered red flags to democracy. The 20% needed to shift will see the light once the worst man made intentional recession begins and the billionaires buy up 30% of your homes and buildings. Nothing at all will be outside of billionaire and corporate control and now all your data is in AI. how did all American value fall in just one month. Anyone not questioning this now, ai promise you is being blackmailed or is corrupt. \n\nThe bureaucracy prevents dictatorship. Now Trump is removing this. Just listen to project 2025. America is fully on track.

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

You're sounding scared Truedo. ? besides all that we see how you treat your people for simple things like praying. Drown in your misery and quit trying to get Americans on your side
