So much respect for him and the people of Canada right now. I’m so embarrassed of our American president.

Isolationist America. No one will want to deal with the USA now. When Saddam invaded Kuwait, and the USA needed to go in a retake the oil ports, the USA didnt want to upset the Arabs, so needed a coalition, so asked NATO and other countries to help, I dont remember NATO sending a bill, or asking USA to sign over mineral rights. I also remember USA talking Ukraine into handing over their nuclear weapons to Russia, in exchange for protection, wow so much for that promise. If the USA is stuck for money, why dont they go back to Iraq, and take back the 80 billion dollars worth of equipment they just left on the tarmac when they ran away in the middle of the night.

Putin: lying, murderous dictator\nTrump: lying, rapist, felon, wannabe dictator\n\nI can see why they're friends\n\nNot a fan of Trudeau but he got this speech right ??

Right. Canada -I’m with you! I’m An American ?? too

This isn't about Fentanyl . If it was, trump would learn that America has been selling guns to the drug cartels. That needs to be changed right away. But trump won't listen to anyone because he is stupid.

Venting his emotions in public—man, what a clown. Did he say anything relevant? It took him nine minutes just to say, 'Oh, Trump did what he said three weeks ago,' cry, and play the friend card. Why does he even have the right to speak when he was the president? Man, we’ve got to stop giving attention to that guy.

Being an American right now feels like being a little kid who knows why the cops are at the door at 6AM looking for dad.

He's still going to fold ? Trudeau has always talked tough from the podium right before caving.

Right at the beginning he gets the American Democrats talking points, Putin puppet, Russian friend etc.

i do not support what trump and elon are doing, what can i do, i would like trump impeached, i want peace and to raise my children, i want to be able to feed and house them. what is going on America we must stand up for Freedom and our rights!! we must unite and fight against this communist oligarchs. I do not support putin or trump's views.

Thanks trump for creating enemies right on America north and south border. China will be strategically benefitted. Country cannot be ruled as corporate

A smart guy doing stupid things? Stupid is who does stupid things , right Forest?

Yeah, I mean Trudeau is right. But CNN is still a zionist propaganda nonsense spewing lie machine.

The man (Trump) attacks our allies and long time friends and cozies up to our long time adversaries who have no history of warmth with the US. Of all the people of the world to attack, Canada and the UK, our strongest allies EVER. Then launches verbal assaults on the victim of an invasion and war atrocities. Trump is just about stealing candy from a baby and giving it to a bully with a smile on his face! But then has far right media sugar coat it so that MAGA will believe he's doing something good and right.

Firing, breaking relationships, betrating etc. A lot of strange things happen right now... Birth of chaos.

I’m a Canadian and I’m ashamed of our prime minister. We have a drug problem in Canada. We shouldn’t legalize drugs here. Just look at our Hastings st in Vancouver. Trump has ever right to do this to us and we have to ban all drugs here

You have the right to do this Prime Minister. We will suffer because of TRUMP and not because of you. I am so sorry my bullshit country has done this. You move is NEEDED.

trudeau is right

Don’t tariff America. As a Canadian two wrongs don’t make it right. Get the energy out. Triple our global output. Our autoworkers need jobs well let’s build Trudeau. Talk and winning. Global energy. Let BYD in with out tariffs. We don’t have an auto sector anymore. ? BYD and get over it ( the eagles ?). Trump is correct at our lack of defence. Maybe this will help. The only way to scourge out of fentanyl is a clean source and less social stigmatization of the sick. Don’t expect a smart man like trump to figure that out.

Huge deterioration, huge! You’re right. Canadians are very upset by this dumb move by Trump.

CNN this is your chance. You must stand with countries who have similar attitudes towards what is right and good in the world. Look at the comments, look who are the people watching you every day. Must fight against the tyrany.

Trudeau and the liberals were way underwater. Trump could have had a right wing ally in Canada, but Trump has managed to enrage everyone in Canada so much they are probably going to support a liberal gov't that will resist the US. Good!

Trump is a traitor he's doing this on purpose he's destroying our economy and our allies economy and he's with Putin people don't even believe what you see that's right in front of your faces he's up to no good?

That lady simply lied and tried to twist reality. Trudeau didnt say anything Anti-American. She means anti-white supremacist....trudeau is saying America is not going to use them but mistreating at the same time. Canada is right. Protect yourselves. People in America will see that supporting Trump is GUARANTEED TO FAIL. its just a matter of time.

So sad what's happening in this country right now. I'm an American and did not vote for trump and I'm with Ukraine and Canada.

Thanks Trump! Thanks to your tariffs in Mexico as well, we had to lay off a bunch of coworkers at the beer distributor that I work for! Since we aren’t selling as much imported beer, we had to downsize the company for the first time in over 20 years! Thank you Trump! Now I have to wonder if I’ll be next in line due to lay offs right before my baby arrives. Thank you so much Trump and to the uneducated Trump voters.\n\n?

MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN! \n\nWe foundation Audit!!\nGreenbelt Audit!\nSNC Lavellin Audit!!\nArrive Can Audit!\nMcKinsey Consultant Audit!\n\nLet’s see why our Canadian dollar is deteriorating and stop sending blame shall we? \n\nAmerica has EVERY right to put their citizens first, can we do the same?

in tennis, you will hit a ball to a far corner to get the player as far as possible, to then hit a ball to the other corner and score. trump throws his lies and fake concerns left and right and everyone is running for them, the media, other countries, maga people use this misinformation as an excuse... here you see Mr President say - we already had an excellent border control but we went ahead and spent 1.3 billion dollars more. why? trump never cared for that. just like Trump doesn't care what Mr Zelenskyy would say in the Oval Office, he has his plans and agenda. he wants to isolate USA, be friends with ruzzia and be a dictator. so maybe fucking treat him as such now, before its too late?

This prez, and the one before him, aligned themselves with a Zionist and now a dictator while stabbing their neighbour and ally in the back! It's not looking good for the US right now, but we're praying for you all my friends. ??✌️????

Canada: There are plenty of Americans 100% with you and the rest of our allies. These are not my presidents (we apparently have two) and my sincere hope is that they will not only be removed from office very soon, but thereafter tried, prosecuted, and imprisoned for high treason against the United States and for defrauding its people. Those of us not fully brainwashed by the right-wing propaganda apparatus are seething with rage and focused on fast and appropriate justice, however it must be achieved. This criminal behavior masquerading as politics will be punished to the maximum extent of the very laws that are being scoffed at by Trump, Vance, Musk, and the rest of the mafioso GOP. History will correct those that choose to remain in tow to lawlessness and treason, and oligarchic fascism will not hold sway in our nation. Let this moment be a powerful reminder of how fragile democracy is and how vigilant we all must be to preserve it.

U r right sir

How is this gonna hurt Americans is he stupid really, he more scared hurting then we are and also maybe they need to fix the bs of if you have a dui in usa and did your time , they can recharge yoi with it there and thats stupid , Canada get your crap right

Trudeau is never a great prime minister but he's saying exactly what needs to be said right now

This clown is definitely in the running for one of the weakest most pathetic leaders ever. And for all you “Americans” siding with Canada and theft from the American tax payers, you should move to Canada since your weak minds fit right into Canadas weak minds. \nFor the clowns threatening to do more business and side with Europe, go ahead. You probably should ask Ukraine about how helpful Europe really is!!

You are an excellent neighbor Canadian. This trade war is thoughtless and stupid. As usual trump is spreading lies to justify his acts, but this will hurt the American people as much as it hurts the Canadian people. The Wall Street Journal got it right. Trumps idea is wrong.

Dont you all realize that what we are doign is equalling the percentage as they do to us , yes everyone has there opinions but the fact that we as a country goes and helps other countries but when we have a president that really cares, and bet none of you do your studys on these issues, see you all go day by day with out a clue on whats going on , its ok for other countries to take advantage of us and hurt us but its ok right its ok for countrys to hurt us as thte same for democratic leftys its ok to hurt us, i say hell no its not ok , for once in are life we need to help the Americans period , grow up people seriously grow up , trump is doing what should have been done a long time ago , biden did to much damage to much

Why would anyone takes Justin serious when he couldn’t even do the right thing for his own country?? resigned Justin just go away

Like him or not, Trudeau is just and right. Trump seem like a spoiled 6th grader. The whole world (minus dictators) sees Canada as strong and intelligent. Trump is weak.

His people hate him and they have a right to. He is an embarrassment, I thought he was hiding after his last scandal.

This is III world War, economic one and he has started by a lunatic man.... China I'll be more power than never..... Don't forget China ownes billions of external debt from USA. Trump you are a criminal, the history will put in the right place.....

Our PM is right; the end goal is to cripple Canada economically so Trump can take our resources and territory. I am saying Trump intentionally. I know the vast majority of Americans don't want this trade war but if you think Canadians are just gonna lay down and take the abuse, you're high as a fucking kite on your own fumes. We won't got down without a fight and Canadians know how to fight dirty.

We know. You have to stand up to that traitor! We love Canada but it's only right that you fight back! You are our sisters and brothers and we want the Canadian people to flourish.We love you! ??♥️????\n\nTrump invented that excuse about the fentanyl in regards to Canada! That's not why he imposed the tariffs!\n\nP.S. He's not smart, just greedy and wiley.

Man, I can't be more proud to be Canadian right now. True north, stay strong my families and friends.

To Americans in the comments saying they stand with us: Thank you, but your actions are more effective than a Youtube comment. Contact your local congressperson and make your view on this matter abundantly clear. The only ones who can stop Trump's lunacy are the American people themselves. I don't care if you voted or him or not, support most of what he says, or none of it, you can't support something like this which only hurts both of us, and you should not support your leader becomng Putin's favourite new 'pet.' \n\nGet your heads out of the clouds, look at a map and realize that we've always been right there, a good neighbour that never gives your trouble. Let's be friends again.

Anyone who believes this pig is a good leader has been duped, as a Canadian, I will tell you, these tariffs fall right into this globalists hands, his goal from the beginning was,and is, to destabilize our economy, the above diatribe is merely posturing, he’s a lying pig, Donald Trump doesn’t hate Canadians, he hates this swine Trudeau, and , once again we Canadians suffer under this pigs watch??

I hope that Canada and the EU is going to work closely together in the future. You cannot trust the USA with such people in charge! Even CHINA is more reliable right now, let THAT sink in!

I’m American, I wish I was a Canadian right now. Trudeau is a dignified leader and Canadians are lucky to have a leader like him… Us Americans are the losers here?

Riiiiight...Trump is dumb...says the man who has a 10% approval rating and may go down as the worst PM in Canadian history. He's genuinely one of the more incompetent world leaders we've seen in a long time....right there w FJB. These are dangerous men bc of their stupidity.

Here's my advice. Get as far away from Trump's influence as possible. He's unstable, chaotic, and easily influenced by his ultra-right wing advisers Musk and Vance. That won't change. The whole world needs to isolate him. He is COVID25 !

Is this a radical far left tv station,,,they are so anti Trump, anti Israel, pro palestinians protests on US universities, pro rights to criminal immigrants,,,,,,can I trust what they say ?
