His best advice is “comply” he said bring taxes and proof of bank accounts. Just don’t go, they don’t want anybody there anyway, not even their own citizens.

If it wasn't for all Trudeaus bs taxes in the first place we would actually be able to survive the tariff!

F Trudeau, he's ruined this country for the last 9yrs. He's the reason we can't survive the tariffs because he taxes the canadian citizens far more than any other country.

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

It’s not about boarder crossings or fentanyl but to fund the tax cuts he’s giving his billionaire buddies.

I’m an American and I stand with Canada. They need to raise taxes on the wealthy and stop trying to avoid the inevitable.

This is All drama, people are being fooled and being shown a fake fight before they ll be screwed with high inflation. Due to their trillions of discretionary spending on wars and other non productive programs where tax payer’s money siphoned to private pockets, and more money printing and inflation as a result was inevitable, they are just creating a drama before that to make you believe Oh it was Taliban’s fault or Putin’s fault or Hamas fault or now Zelensky’s fault. NO it was all planned. They instigate these scenarios and wage wars to do billions business making money from these conflicts. This is all scripted. We are being fooled and robed. Stock long life things to save something now

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

friends dont tax friends on imported goods the media fails to realize these are retaliation tariffs from trump we didn't start the trade war they did and i hope their economy collapses because of it

Tariffs generate US Gov income which will fund TAX CUTS for Trump and the wealthy...that's not dumb for Trumps personal income, but it is IMMORAL and dumb in every other respect

Tariffs are additional taxes for consumers, importers are just collectors for the government of the import destination.

Canada ?? come on - buy European goods. Much more high quality standard and better food, buy our food and cooperate with us without taxes ?? ? ??

This entire video is why Canada needs Pierre Poilievre. He will get the economy going again. Produce more, be more self-sufficient, build more homes, reduce taxes, stop the catch, and release of criminals. I hope to God he gets in because if the liberals gets a 4th term, Canada will be headed towards third world status. ?

Great speech! But I think the Canadians are overreacting a bit. Reciprocate the tariffs and go on with your lives. As for Trump’s reason why, it will probably be obvious when the new tax dollars begin overflowing your accounts.

Woke doesn’t work…. President Trump finally is giving my country back to the people. It is time my tax dollars stop paying for other country benefits. Maybe your leader should stop talking out of both sides of his mouth. Finally proud again post forced illness. Wake up people!

Canada has imposed prohibitive taxes on a vast amount of US goods for decades.

I don’t agree with Trump but I’m trying to understand this….So he (Trudeau) punishes his own nation with carbon tariffs then tells his nation how tough it’s gonna be now that a foreign president applies tariffs…I’m sorry I just don’t get it…instead of starting a fight that will hurt us even more, why don’t he just let go of the carbon tax to help the suffering…\nIs he actually care or is it just politics ?

We, the people, don't have free education, many students own loans from universities.\nWe can not buy houses, and no programs help us.\nWe (USA)have a lot of homeless, criminals, people with mental health, PEOPLE ADDICTIVE TO HEAVY DRUGS, plus the alcohol, weed, cigarettes, undecated young people, 30 percent only have a banchelors degree the 70 percent in the whole country don't have university education and not counting young people getting pregnant with toxic partners and their kids repeat the same poisonous life affecting their generations touching lives in a bad way.\nUSA has a lot of potholes in the roads, our foods have over 300 harmful chemicals to harm our health, the health system sucks, education is low teacher teach with youtube and are lazy to teach, educational system is super slow to process student classes or to advice them they make a mess in the documentation of the payments or financial aid, we have to baby sit the educational system to do their jobs and get things done, the food so expensive the egg, milk, vegetable, fruits, gas so expensive it never went down we still paying in LA 5 dollar per gallon to 6.50.\nUSA RENT are for the roofs some states do not even have rental control student loans kill people with HIGH INTEREST THEY GO AFTER YOUR HOME CAR TAXES .\nthe government is not to serve it wants the we the people serve the government.\ngovernment uses our taxes for their personal investment and we the people pay for it.\nThe USA government gives bread crumbs to its own citizens, what can other countries expect from it? The worst part is that most citizens are blind, and we need to wake up and make the government do its job instead of putting our tax money in their pockets.\ncountries need to look for their people but sadly the governments use their people very few are have justice and education.\nUSA say they help but they beat up the ones that are down and take advantages of countries that are in war USA exploit them is an investment not help USA always gets more of the double of what they help invest in countries like congo or eukrania USA want the minerals,land of eukrania and the diamond, land and resources of africa.

K, so you’re gonna stop the carbon tax now then, right?????? \nlol\nI didn’t think so. This guy is so full of it. He is the reason why we are suffering as a country. Not Donald Trump. Donald is just looking out for his own country. It’ll help them, it’ll hurt us because you’re gonna let it hurt us. We are already taxed in every humanly way possible. What’s next? I’m sure you’ll think of something to tax. \nThis man has ruined what’s left of Canada. Don’t fall for this rhetoric little speech people. \nOpen your minds and eyes!

Who exactly is your enemy in this world? Leaders like Trudeau, Zelenskyy, Starmer, and most European leaders often sound like staunch supporters of AIPAC. Meanwhile, Trump negotiated with Russia and China to establish peace deals and broader economic opportunities that could benefit everyone. In contrast, these diabolical figures seem to be freeloading, using U.S. tax dollars to pursue their own agendas, targeting anyone who doesn’t align with them—including major superpowers. This isn’t America’s problem to solve. They refuse to admit that without the U.S., they have no leverage left to play with.

Tariffs, a tax on the poor to enrich Trump's billionare tech bros.

100 PERCENT TAX ON TESLA

Justin, all canadiens want you to disappear, you did enough to screw and sell our country, everyone hates you !!!! Take your carbon taxes and shovit up your you know where !!!!

Why is this Turd speaking for Canada? \n\nThe US tariffs impact US buyers. Not Canadians buyers. \n\nThese Canadian tariffs impact Canadian buyers. WTF!! The Government goes back to work to “add tax” to Canadians buying from US. Long standing relationships with the US. \n\nCalls the President “Donald”. What a disgrace. What a joke. Get rid of this guy.

Not even the Canadians care what this clown says. They absolutely HATE him. Furthermore, Canada already taxes US goods at upwards of 350% in some cases. The time for taking advantage of America is over. EVERY American should be happy about that. The people in these comments supporting this tool are ignorant fools.

Hes imposing another 20 % carbon tax increase that takes effect april 1st so theres that. It could be easier if you juat dropped that stupid carbon inflationary tax. Trudeau is a complete idiot

These tariffs weren't new news n youre using them as a smoke screen because u cant beat the conservatives so youll try n aim at trump. Youre taxes hurt canada more than trump ever could

Justin Destroyed Canada with his unending foolish spending, taxes and corruption,, said he would step down, shut down the government instead and continued acting as Prime Minister while opposition has been muted. He is not a legitimate leader and his words are empty. He is a drama teacher with a script and does the only thing he knows how. He acts. And now he's acting like the tough guy and that he cares about Canada when after nine years in power, it is clear he didn't. Time to get rid of the globalist and all the others. He is not a decent man.

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.

end the carbon tax trudeau or you're worse than trump!

don't be fooled,our PM here, still is going to carbon tax us to poverty..he's no better.

1) he's not speaking directly to anyone but a camera, 2) he could simply cancel the digital service tax, the 200% tariffs canada puts on US for dairy, HVAC, and other products. He's a lying hypocrite who put us in this position by not negotiating in good faith.

Trudeau's words are smoke and mirrors a bit imo. Liberals will go forward with an additional 20% carbon tax dispitie the tariffs occurring. Trump isn't the only one that is harming Canada in one way or another. Trump is forcing Canada to do better with our borders and crisis's that had not been addressed quickly enough. We (Canada) allowed these issues to get out of hand and it took another country to tell us that we needed to do better because the issues affect them as well. I'm stating facts here and now we Canadians will suffer for all of it.

Some persons were just talking about their sentiments on their personal point of view but looking at US point of view, know that the US trade deficit (Deficit exists where US import from another nation to US exceeds US export to that nation from US) with Canada exceeded 58 billion dollars in 2024; with Mexico is more than 170 billion dollars in 2024; and with China is more than 295 billions dollars in 2024. In the Philippines, Philippine entrepreneurs and the like who are exporting their products had been enjoying tax incentives (It does mean when exports live the country versus imports being received by the country then) as Philippine export earning is the one making the Philippine economy richer with money gained while import is making the money to go out of the country (going out as cost or expense) then while being revenue of another country (so that the profit of a country which is revenue less the expense is obviously what is the truth about any argument about tariff (which in a way is discriminating the deficit in becoming wider and wider to the pleasure of those who loved imported goods then).

By using every tool, does that mean we'll be dropping the Carbon tax? Nope, didn't think so. Cause after years of Trudeau destroying our economy, Trump is the problem... Fuck Trudeau.

It seems like he is begging, why can't Canada reduce tax on American goods, so simple

2 things we don't want in Canada. The Liberal crooks and a trade war with the US. That man Trudeau ruined Canada more that Biden and Kamala did to the US.Trudeau supported fentanyl in Canada. Allowing users to commit crimes without legal consequence. Catch amd release when they commit home invasions stabbings break amd enter. Tax payer funded injection sites. Only changed his tune to please Trump.

Ontario and Quebec are threatening to shut down electricity exports which supplies the entire North-Eastern grid, along with oil refinery products out of Sarnia. There is also the likelihood of a 15-25% export tax on oil exports out of the mid-west, which the government will feed back to companies to help with cashflow. Ontario, as the world's largest buyer of Kentucky whiskey and California wine, have already stopped those imports and striped the shelves bare. Canadian consumers are boycotting US products faster than a Dylan Mulvaney Bud Light commercial. Snowbirds spending their money down south next winter? Nope they are going to the Caribbean instead.

Not surprised at the amount of treasonous morons in this comment section, siding with foreign leaders that have been ripping us off for decades. Canada already imposes tariffs on US products, now they are adding additional taxes, when all they had to do is lower (better yet, eliminate) their current ones. I guess progressives like being taxed to hell.

Trump wanted to find money for pay rich people taxes by increase more taxes to the poor and middle class people.

Sure this was necessary, but don't forget Trudeau has been putting tariffs on Canadians for a while with carbon tax and was planning to quadruple it. Trump might not be the hero for America, Trudeau is for sure the villain of Canada.

Liberals are such confidence men, they want the public to see them panic about tariffs but not their carbon tax.

Trump fucked this up, USA is better off keeping the taxes on us cause you have now pissed us off!\nCanada will never trust or rely on America ever again and will move away from America and it's influence to free trade with China and Europe.\nGood luck America, you are now standing on your own!

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

Losers will be consumers or tax payers

25% you say is going to hit us hard. Then it is time to stop and drop the carbon tax. What do you think. It is a government issue and the government should pay for it.

So canadian businesses now have to pay more for american products. Trump dropped business tax to help american businesses. Canadian businesses need that too.

So wait I'm confused... Imposing a 25% tax on another country is considered a hostile act, but imposing a 25% tax (or more) on your own citizens is just and fair? I fail to understand the double standard.

Unfortunately, our government (republicans) at the moment don’t care about us. They taking away from our children’s education , (seniors) money for food and health care. They don’t care we die just as long as they give a tax cut to the rice. I really pray that the he changes his mind. However, I don’t really see it. He’s very crazy guy. They’ll have empathy for others. At time it seems like he’s calling his bluff to everyone. hHe don’t want to give in. He wants to be in control.

This MF is talking Facts? He literally shut down our country, forces none tested vaccines, arrested freedom protesters, froze bank accounts, constant raising of our taxes. JT has completely put our country in jeopardy time after time again. If he would have done his job right we wouldn’t have had any of these issues. Justin you shouldn’t be in charge
