No matter. Never going again lol

Who cares never go back to USA even again

You'd never guess he was Saudi

Wow Trudeau! I guess nationalism was the catalyst to make you the PM you should have been. Better late than never and Bravo! Very tactful and very potent! Your finest speech bar none! Thank you.

I'm from Germany. I never expected a businessman to be so foolish as to impose such tariffs, while the US - Economy Minister claims that the tariff doesn't affect inflation. Even Habeck would be smarter than that nonsense. Go hard, Canada—don't be fooled by a clown in a suit (Trump)

Trudeau, you should have never given Omar Carter $10 million for killing American soldiers. I don’t think Donald Trump ever forgot that.

Hey Donnie,we will never be a US state,if you want a new state try epstein island ,we know you've been there

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!

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 ?

Proud of our Canadian leadership ?Trump and his administration are trying to destabilize North America. Their end-game is authoritarianism on the model of Russia itself. Apparently Putin never speaks about Canada, just as he never used to utter the name of Navalny... Curious...

Put tariffs on goods Canada sends to RED states. If the Republican voters start to feel the pinch they miiiight grow a braun cell and realize Trump has never been a friend to the US

We live in Australia. Were about to buy a tesla and next years annual holiday was going to be to Disney world. We’ll go to Europe instead, and will hold off buying a car, maybe we’ll get a Kia or a BYD. Never American now. The world hates you Donald.

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.

Trump is a fucking grown up liar.. thats how he was rsised and will never change. We as Americans has to dump his ass now. He gonna destroy this country

Behind closed doors, they talk about the American banks that want action in Canada. trudeau never mentioned in his speech.

“We are from the government and we are here to help” scariest word to hear -Ronald Regan. Canada I would be worried. This man has never done anything for you.

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!

Trudeau, I know you will never see this comment, but thank you for having the moral fiber to address the people of my country with such concern. Thank you to every Canadian for showing us what real strength is in a country. I'm so sorry that we are not reciprocating as a country, you deserve better.

The real reason US put tariffs on Canada: \n\nCanada has zero nukes- so they have zero deterrence. The USA has 3,748 nukes. \nCanada has zero aircraft carriers. The USA has 11 nuclear aircraft carriers. The entire rest of the world has 16, but only one is nuclear. \nCanada has zero destroyers! The USA has 65 Top Tier destroyers. \nCanada has only 85 operational fighter jets, but they are outdated and scheduled to be replaced. The USA has 2,740 with 786 being the latest Gen. \nCanada has 82 Leopard 2 tanks and only some are third Gen. The US has 8,100 tanks and they are all third Gen. \n2.3 million Canadians own 12 million guns, but many are low caliber and low use/capable. Canadians privately hold about 2.3 Billion rounds of ammo, but most is smaller caliber hunting rounds. \n81 million Americans own about 400 Million guns with extensive capabilities and usability, including permitted full automatic. The storehouse of privately held ammo is massive in the range of 2 to 25 trillion rounds. \n40% of Americans are raised in a gun culture and develop and hone their weapon use skills for a lifetime. 22% of Canadians have a similar gun culture. \n \nCanada has gotten away with having a weak military and saving enormous costs by not having to produce or buy military equipment. \n\nThe USA has never charged a fee for providing deterrence to potential enemies, and in fact pays Canada on a massive trade deficit instead. Canada exacerbates their precarious situation, by continuing to take guns away from their population.

From the Midwest U.S, I support Canada and Mexico! We don’t want tariffs. We want ALL our economy to prosper! Not to crash them down! Otherwise, if we place tariffs, ALL OF US will be hurt. ALL COUNTRIES. ALL citizens regardless of income levels will feel it. \n\nRising egg prices? Just tonight (as of the evening of March 4) he blames it on Biden and the administration when he’s not even the president! I cannot believe we voted for a president who points fingers rather than taking accountability. \n\nAs an American, I only want to apologize to the world for voting for this bully (I never voted for him, but he won anyways.) I wish you all the best.

UKRAINE IS NEVER EVER GONNA TRUST USA AGAIN...

As an American, I never asked for this, i voted against trump, and there isn't much i can do about it because im disabled and half the country is filled with ignorant idiots.

I’ve never heard a more disingenuous speech. Look at his eyes Canadians. He lies just like Trump.

The PM is known for his statesmanship, for rarely losing his cool, and never forgetting diplomacy. I’ve never seen him so furious—and rightfully so.

I like how he said everything has never been safer and more secure, yet pledges billions to solve the problem

Re: War on Fenttanyl, it’s a bit late after all these years of relax drug enforcement, I got such a shock visiting Hastings St. Vancouver last May 2024!! However, as saying go - Better late than NEVER ?. God bless Canadians ??

NEVER TRUST AMERICANS

what this moron will never understand they need us more than we need them most of there products we don't need and we provide them with national security I guess what did they expect when they elected a drama teacher and a stupid one at that

He is not a canadian...never was

Trump is aligning America with dictators in Russia, North Korea, Israel and Hungary and back stabbing our allies. I have never been more fearful for our country in my life.

It's not at all surprising. Republicans only impose laws and policies that hurt their people, supporting only the rich and wealthy. Never the many. This will likely only hurt republicans attempting to get elected in this country moving forward. Unless they try to take our democracy away. In which case we will be forced to eat the rich to feed the poor.

It seems pretty obvious. There've been rumors that Trump is a Russian stooge. Now, everything he's doing is either eroding western alliances or empowering Russia. The US is a puppet of Putin's Russia at this point. Never thought I'd see it in my lifetime.

PM TRUDEAU, Vive le Canada!! Stand tall, most Americans did not vote for Donald Trump the traitor, compulsive liar, his new play stooge - Elon Musk, who was not an elected official - he bought his “special employee position” by donating\n$6 billion to his presidential campaign! \n\nTrump is not trustworthy, he never was, he’s a compulsive liar, always was, he manipulates people - always did to get his way, he doesn’t know American history or European history- never did, he adored reading about Adolf Hitler and how he manipulated the German people to turn against Jews and minorities just like what is being done today by his REPUBTARD PARTY who are afraid to stand up against SATAN -this is who TRUMP sold his soul to to gain the White House including Putin,

Never a truer word said. Good on this real man. Trumps in bed with a wanted war criminal for mass child abuse and murder. Trump is pond life like the USA now.

Justin Trudeau is wrong. Donald is not a smart man and never has been. He's dumb as a brick and yet confident, which is clearly a dangerous combination. But, you know, diplomacy.

Whoa the fuck just say Trump and maga group not the united state. We for sure are not with Trump nor we'll never be with Russia so just say Trump and maga group Mr. Trudeau I voted for Trump to be impeached

Also (second comment) -- I wouldn't think it's unlikely to say that the point of this IS to impact the stock market. I will never know, but I would love to see who buys what stocks while the market is down. Which insiders purchase what? And then -- what, of those purchases (crypto or otherwise), soars when all of this gets resolved (because it will)?

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

Never in my life did I expect America and Russia to team up and take on the world.

yeah now i would never trust the USA again since they did backstab us in the back. USA are you willing to lose all your allies all your friend just to satisfy a man ego ?

I am an American and I am NOT behind this so called “President” Trump. he will never be my president. To Canada, please pray for the USA. We are being attacked by traitors and cowards.????

Just like with 9/11, the U.S. never wastes an opportunity to squander the good will of the rest of the world. Prime Minister Trudeau, you need not justify all your wonderful country has done and is doing to stop the fentanyl issue...nothing will satisfy the MAGA crazies who refuse to take responsibility for anything, including their enforced poverty and disillusionment that leads to addiction.

This is all because Melania looked at Trudeau like she never looked at trump. trump is a vile, petty, little man.

It sucks that Trump never learn how to share how to be polite how to know others. He only made a bullshit and wish on God that they believe he dies.

I am American and have never been more proud of Canada, and ashamed of USA since half of our people voted for the most Despicable Orange idiot. I’m with Canada, Ukraine and Mexico. ????????

I think it's important to citizens of the world outside of America to know that not all of us represent this government! I am a veteran and never would turn my back on leadership... Until this clown. I stand with Canada, and all of you who have stated as much. We who didn't vote trump in can now only stand by and watch this mistake happen! It's going to take nations to come together with us to stop this dictator from destroying everything we've fought for! I have given my life to the military as we deployed to many countries to support efforts to rebuild after disasters both natural and man made. Now I call on this nations to stand ready when we need you most! Please don't give up on those of us who still care. It's time!!!

US Veteran. I don’t support Zelensky ruling via martial law.\nHe is essentially a dictator, shut down all opposition , news sources. Except gov voices.\nMuch much more.\n\nMany Ukrainians aren’t too happy with the war. Facts that propagandists never show.\n\nHold elections and let the peoples voice be heard.\n\nYour claiming to be defending democracy much how democrats do it…. By trampling on any notion of democracy in your pursuit.\n\nUkraine is far from a democracy at this point.

Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

As a Canadian, I hope that Americans in the comments finally understand why sports fans booed the anthem, it was never about Americans, we are protesting Trump and the ppl who support this warfare, the annexation threats.\nThank you for those who support us, it’s nice to read the comments from all over the world.
