Go somewhere else. It’s that easy. Have family down there? Rent an air b and b somewhere else and have a great time.

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 ❤

The American voters that were stupid enough to vote for Bunkerbitch STILL dont understand what great neighbors Canadians are . When American hockey teams visit , the Canadians would sing America's national anthem when it would be played UNTIL BUNKERBITCH BECAME THE GRAND WIZARD OF THE KKK Government of America .

Greetings from Lithuania. Great speech. While Canada has so many natural resources it is stupid for USA to go into trade war. We support Canada!

Great job by Trudeau?

The dictator trump is turning the whole world against America. Great job

I’d much rather have Canada join the EU than the USA, but you’d need neither :D Great job Canada!

That was a great speech from Prime Minister Trudeau. One of his best I must say . . . we've got to stick together and fight back this idiocy from Trump, and if we can do that we will win and he'll back off from these ridiculous and needless tariffs.

I believe and respect President Trump! Also thank you Mr Elon Musk for doing a great job.God bless both of you.

Bravo Canada. Thankyou for being great neighbors. Sorry that sione Americans are ignorant racists and voted gor a russian asset.

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

What a great prime minister

Donald Trump is doing a great job at destroying the U.S. all this time various terrorist groups tried to attack America and failed... when all they had to do was recruit Trump and the deed would've been done without mass casualties ??‍♂️\n\nwhat a sad, sad day for Americans...

Bro Canada is a great country ruled by an idiot. Trudeau go away.

He's a dude.. \n\nCanada's a great country❤

<standing ovation>. As a European who saw hope in Trump, I don't know what is happening, but this is a different leader than he was 4 years ago, what happened? Alliance < Russia? Bravo Canada, you are a great country

Great speech

Much love to great Canada and canadian people from Finland ??❤️??

Great speech from Trudeau. Welcome to More Cooperation with Europe against the Trump-US

Woow Justin tradeau seriosly great leader \n\nFrom Mogadisho,SOMALIA ??

Trudeau! Wow ?bold. Great ?

Great answer ?

Canadians are not anti-American. But we take great offense when our sovereign nation is dismissed as just another U.S. state, ignoring our 150+ years of history and the sacrifices of our soldiers who fought on the frontlines—often before the U.S.—in WWI and WWII. After 9/11, we stood by America, fighting and dying alongside you in Afghanistan, just as we did in Normandy. Canada has been the U.S.'s closest ally for the last 70 years, and the idea of a fentanyl border crisis (until recently) is simply misleading.\n\nIf the roles were reversed, would you boo at a hockey game? We still ❤ America!

A great speech, he should stay as Prime minister ?

Trump has destroyed trust in US allies, and it can ont be repaired easy. Trust can be destroyed in minutes, but it takes many years, maybe decades, before it can be gained again. It affects not only what US experiences right now with Canada and Mexico. Be sure that even Taiwan Australia and all other Asian allies are questioning right now if USA can be trusted. Imagine, Trumps breaks a treaty with Canada and Mexico which he personally has established in his first presidency and sold to his people as the greatest deal that has ever been archieved. Tells you a lot about US credebility. Trump is right now destroing world order which has been established mainly by USA after WW2.\nI heared, that there are rumors, that Trump might be a Russian KGB agent since 1987. I don't know if that is true, but it would explain a lot of why Trump is acting as he does - it is not in the interest of USA, pressurizing/blackmailing/offending/humiliating US allies and destroying US and foreign economies. This is practically enacting a wishlist of foreign dictators like Putin and Xi Chin Ping.\nIt certainly will not make America great again, but poorer, weaker and internationally isolated. it will be US people that will suffer the most.

I'm from Australia. Traveled and trekked the great country of Canada. Stand proud and to hell with trump. Don't let him intimidate you.

the beginning of the great decline

Im from The Great State of Illinois and I Stand With Canada and Ukraine ????

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.

What a disgusting, moronic clown this utter idiot is. Total scum. Ruined a great country, and just won’t go away. Loathed through the country and beyond. Only the kind of idiot that watches CNN would support this kind of vermin.

Good man and a great speaker. Compare him to the whiner America have got.

yes, how will he make America great when he came out of all the agreements and increased duties, now what will he do with this money that he saved. After all, overflowing with money is negative for the state, it’s easy. One is extremely thrifty and poorer, and the other generously pours in and gets more.

Great example and role model for Leaders in Europe.\nVery proud of my birth land ?❤️

I can't stand CNN = Communist News Network, and I don't care for Trueau but I'm going to have to stand with him on this. Trump is being absolutely rediculous that is going to hurt the poor and working class poor in both countries, Canada as well as America. I sincerely appologize to the Canadian people because my President who said he would make America great again has instead lost his mind and has went off on some insane tangent that will not hurt him or his rich friends (On both sides of the political fence).....Now Mexico that is where the garbage is coming from.

Great speech by Justin Trudeau. Good coverage, thank you.

Great job America for voting for trump. He is not a leader he is a dictator that wants power. He doesn’t care about peoples wellbeing

Great speech ???

Great speech! We have to stay strong against attacks on our democracies, from outside or within! Kudos from Germany

Canada is great eh, i'll be eating my $3.00 CAD eggs tomorrow morning with my $1.50 Starbucks coffee. Tariff away

So now the government in Canada wants to defend us & tell us to stand united but in the past decade this country has turned into trash as they gave it away with an open door of Indians taking over and not giving AF about the people born and raised here - the adds on the radio ask us to keep our money in Canada and untie, but we dont even have a Canadian culture left anymore and people living here long enough know its true unfortunately, this was a great place to live but they destroyed it long before this issue - cost of living, housing crisis, immigration, gangs, crime etc. - If they want to keep letting people in here then start a service to help us get out and relocate before asking for help from the people you hurt

I am a Republican leaning American who did not vote for Trump (never voted for him), and I urge every country to stand up to bullying tactics of Trump. I am relatively rich, so this fluctuating market or rising egg prices will not affect me; poorer people than me will be affected greatly. And ironically, these poorer people voted for Trump. I just don't understand it because if I am a poor American, I would have voted for Bernie Sanders because at least the guy has some integrity unlike most politicians. And I am sorry to say I would have voted for Kamala Harris if she were not so dumb. Even though I lean Republican in that my values align more with Republican ideals, I consider whether a candidate has strong integrity and found none in Trump and Kamala Harris.

Make that make sense! I couldn't have said it any better. Trudeau was never my favorite person in politics, but this latest stand against the tyrant that is just south of our great country! His justification for his tariff fantasy is the trade of fentinyl across the border and the flow of illegal immigrants to the U.S. As Trudeau has stated, paraphrasing a well known and respected publication, the Wall Street Journal, that this is a very DUMB move! That is an understatement. This is clearly not about drugs or illegal immigrants, it never was. Trump is supposed to be smart? This latest revelation proves otherwise. Just look at how they treated Zelensky during his last visit to the oval office. That showed a complete lack of respect! I fear we are in for a dismal for years!

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.

STUPID DONALD THINKING VLADIMIR IS HIS FRIEND ??? MAGA - MAKE ASSASSIN GREAT AGAIN... !

I am born in US with French Canadian roots of great grandparents....I stand with Canada!

Omg ,,Canada is great country in the world with too much natural resources.im sure Canada is an independent country.need some good and professional leaders

I almost completely support everything he says. My problem comes with his comments on Fentanyl. Please, this medication is a game changer for so many suffering daily in agony with chronic pain or deadly conditions. For those who need it medically, it is strictly controlled and monitored. Fentanyl is “eaten” by pain, so for those who need it there is no high, just relief.\nThose on it legally already have to deal with a great amount of prejudice, being treated as addicts and dealers when they are just trying to find a way to survive immense pain everyday. This medication allows them to get out of bed, to attend school or work, to have a life. It gives them hope and relief. \nThe opioid crisis is real, but those on a prescription are not the cause. Canada already has some of the strictest protocols in the world for this medication, leaving many people in agony as they loose access to it. \nDon’t take away something that is saving them. The drug is not wrong, those selling it illegally are in the wrong.

What a great speech! Absolutely excellent, perfect! Trudeau is proving to be a really great leader. Lucky Canada. Shame that he won't be standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.

Great Trudeau !

Chinese think this is a great thing
