Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

Canadian, be proud of your Prime Minister! Comparing to your neighbors who voted for a clown as president.

Prime Minister Trudeau, I am sorry President Trump's irresponsible ideas and choices affect so many negatively which includes you and your Canadians, and me and my Americans, as well as so many other. He should be ashamed of himself, but we all know that a narcissist feels only joy in hurting others. I worry every day, not just for the people of the United States of America, but also for all people around the world affected by this horrible man. I stand up and speak up with the hope that it makes a difference. Those I know are doing the same. I have heard so many republicans that voted for Trump, so very sorry now that they did. His irrational behavior is worthy of impeachment. Your speech, Prime Minister Trudeau, was honest and sincere and I appreciate your being so candid. I wish President Trump and Vice President Vance had the character you have. Best Wishes to you and the People of Canada, we have been friends for a long time and I would love to continue this friendship. Remember there are Americans here that appreciate you and your country.

You are the reason we are in this position, don’t blame Trump for your poor leadership, you are a terrible Priminister probably the worst in history just like Biden you need to go , you are a enemy to the Canadian people.

Canadian are reasonable and polite, Trump is evil, rude and coarse. His only gods is Mammon, greed and him self.

Elbows up! Canadians have fought valiantly in every war, and this will be no exception. We're nice until someone crosses us. Just watch.

wow im impressed with my prime minister Justin Trudeau, he killed it mic drop moment on Donald, spoke to the american people the canadian people and launched his counter attack. I hope Donald soon realizes his mistake.

I very much respect the Canadian Prime Ministers response.

Finally..Canadians growing BALLS!!!

My country I have never been more proud of our leaders than I am today! ?? Civilized, clearly articulated intelligent speach like our fellow Brits, France, Germany ect! \n\n That IS what it looks and sounds like to be a civilized leader of a country! No name calling, gaslighting, intimating, aggressive lies! All truth! All facts! And all the Canadian way! ???????????? ect Unite!!

To my Canadian brothers and sisters: the majority of US citizens are APPALLED at what the Orange POS is doing. I personally loathe him, and love Canada. I live across the Detroit River from Windsor. ❤❤??????

to all my Canadian friends, it' time to buy FPV drone and get really good at piloting it.

Who can now have any doubt but that Trump is Putin’s man in Washington?\nTrump and Musk have absolutely no care for ordinary Americans, so why would they care for Canadians, Europeans or Ukrainians?

Regardless of how you feel about Trudeau, this was a brilliant retort to Trump’s bullshit trade war. I felt even more proud to be a Canadian after hearing this serious pushback from Trudeau. Very well said.

Buffalonian here, and a woman who met her husband in the U.S Marine Corps. I am disgusted and disappointed with America right now. Canadians, we stand with you.

trumps tarrifs tax on goods imported from Canada are paid by the AMERICAN COMPANIES who import the goods, NOT paid by Canadian companies, it's an extra sales tax which raise prices.

I'm so proud of this guy and I'm not even Canadian. But I love Canada.

Canadians are weak.

What I love about the Canadians is that I want them with me, not pissed at me.

Canadians had a longer WW1 and WW2 than the US.. don't underestimate them

Highest Respect to the Canadian's Honourable Prime Minister and the good people of Canada!???

Canadians are weak cry baby cry , 80% of Canada is with Indians ahahaha , if there will be a war , all these Indians will move back to India ahahahaha this is funny

Effective speech, Mr. Trudeau. We are proudly Canadian and stand with you.??????

That is a true leader speaking! Clear, precise, well spoken, without name calling, belittling, and other idiotic, childish behavior.\nYou Canadians can be proud of your leader. A man of integrity and principles. He has everything the orange balloon with a mouth doesn't have!\nThe idiot Trump will have to eat his words and beg you for mercy.\nTime for Mexico to speak up too!

Denmark, Europe here: We support your decision to fight back and stand by our Canadian brothers and sisters! Stay strong and keep fighting the Orange man.

Canadian Prime Minister is a Real mature man that speaks eloquently and is intelligent and is correct and fair !!\n Beautiful speech , thank you Prime Minister, we as Middle class Americans are fighting for our survival and are scared that Trump is listening to billionaires instead of the People!!❤️???

I can't believe that orange peel think that we as Canadians want to send our jobs to them . That guy is coo coo for coco pops.

Canada join the EU! The USA are no longer a reliable partner. Maybe you Canadians can even help bringing the UK back into the EU.

I'm not even Canadian, I'm Brazilian.... But I'm so mad by this treason against USA biggest partner.

I have never seen in my entire life anything bad between our Canadian people..this is sad..very childish..

This is all because of Canadians beady little eyes - U.S.A.

As Canadian, we don't like Trudeau but we have to unite together and flight back this unjustified tariff and nonsense trade war.

America we Canadians are upset with Trump and his criminal group running your country into the ground. We only have did our best for decades to be a rock for you…We don’t want this unfortunate situation but we will not bend the knee to Trump! If you really have that patriotism you have pounded your chests for decades as the best democracy in the world then show it! Right now we see a lot of talk and no action towards a criminal dictator Russian sympathizer

I’m from the uk ! If your a Canadian you must be mighty proud Trudeau talking so articulately and powerfully this is a true leader someone trump could learn from ????

Canadians are doing themselves proud by hunkering down and unifying the Country against this madness, so keep it up but don't lose your polite and friendly approach to life....be assured the rest of the free world is with you

I'm proud to be a Canadian even though I am American. This is a true leader!

As a Canadian I could not be any more proud of our PM

We are proud Canadian, and we are proud of our PM Justin Trudeau, who demonstrates strength.

This Canadian minister is a liar and his people dont like him either.

I am Canadian and we will fight back dollar for dollar.????????✊?

FREEMASONS DON'T WANT WANT CANADIAN AND AMERICAN TO KNOW WHAT IS COMING THAT IS THE COLLAPSE OF WESTERN SOCIETY.\n\nTHESE FMASONS ARE RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? FROM DTJ TO JT

As an American right now i feel more strongly patriotic for my Canadian brothers than my own government. We should be the best of friends and allies this is such a stupid fucking step for trump to take. He's destroying our alliances. I only hope our relationship isn't irreparably damaged before his four years are up. As a western new yorker who has lived by the falls all my life, im really saddened to see this. Sorry.

Ah yes, Trudeau..the man who stole people's life savings for protesting. The man who is surrounded by armed security while normal Canadians are arrested for defending themselves. The man who taxes the crap out of people and returns horrible health care. The man who thinks 50 year old men should be allowed to go into teenage girls locker rooms and compete against them because the man identifies as a 13 year old.

We are proud to be Canadian ?

Canadians, I will not buy any American products. Love and support to you from Australia ❤

As a french I say bravo and respect to Mr Trudeau and all the canadian people. \nStay strong !

What Trump seems to try to get at most is the unfair act of the USMCA. Most trades benefited Canada, while Canada refused to provide the same fair trades. Sometimes Trump does say things that may have gone off track like fentyl handling on Canada's end and border handling. It seems like our borders at the time were less strict on the American side versus the Canadian side of the border. Trump did state multiple times that most countries like Canada were unfair to USA. Even with the USMCA, America got screwed by Mexico as will. America has been there helping and supporting and submitting to every country. Yet failed to support our own people when we need it, especially to clear up our own debts. Sadly, America is falling behind due to poor handling of Government Democrat corruption. I am neutral as both parties don't always provide the best solution for everyone. You have to pick who can help the American people. Seeing how corrupt the Democrats has ran America and the defacto behind of all the wars and money laundering has surprised me, and I hope the change with Trump will help everyone realize how screwed we all are in correcting those corruption that isn't really needed.

Couldn't be more proud to be Canadian. I just hope our next P.M. has the stones to keep the fight going.

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

2 Canadian People Just Buy Canadian And British Only In Ur Country
