Trudeau screwed Canadians & they couldn’t wait to get him out of office!! \nCanada is broke and can’t afford 25% tariffs. All Canada has to do is open business in USA!\nMade in the USA ?? \nCanada gave 20billion to Ukraine vs USA giving over 150 billion plus militaryequipment equipment. Ukraine realizes Trump was right, The WAR needs to end. ????????????

As a Canadian, so proud of Prime Minister Trudeau! Go for it, hit America with huge tariffs! Bully trump and his lap dog should sit up and take note!!!!!!

We don’t dislike American people; we dislike Donald Trumps attitude towards Canada! ?? \n\nWe’ve already started to boycott American food & other products in our grocery stores! \n\n“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!”\n~Justin Trudeau\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!\n\nGod help us all!

Take back what you said Trudeau! trump is NOT smart!

The only thing I disagree with Trudeau about is,\nNo,Trump is not a smart guy.

Trudeau is a good leader who care's for both Canada and America USA . basically trump is a Russian

Trudeau about to catch some bombs with talk like that. The American People support Trump and the tariffs. Canada knows they can't fight us. Trudeau should bend the knee now to avoid the destruction later.

Trump is pissed that Melania is into Justin Trudeau, that is why Trump is taking it out on Canada ?

Ask if Alberta believes Trudeau is for them like Trump is for the USA. Ask the truckers if they believe this speech.

Why don't he talk about the tariffs canada has had on U.S. products for years ? Trump evened the playing feild. Fck trudeau and canada !!

Let's all start fresh NO MORE FOREIGN AID!! Done - Finished - we don't owe anything to any one and I don't need Trudeau speaking to me. He has a failing economy and it has been failing since he came in ~ now he wants to blame Trump! Everything here should be MADE IN AMERICA!!

Please do not mistake Trump for all of USA . Most of us agree totally with Trudeau .

It's not a tariffs war you Canadian Trudeau idiot... Donald Trump put a tariffs on you because Cartel's dnt Cross drugs through the border if you dnt do you side of the bargain to keep fentanyl by crossing from your side of the country.. helloooo how stupid can y'all be it's not a tariffs war get that straight.

Trudeau can criticize all he wants, but Trump’s alignment with Putin was the right move—strong leadership that prioritized peace and stability over endless conflict.

Justin Trudeau is ten times the leader that idiot tRump could ever hope to be.\nI can't believe there are still some Americans that support tRump. America has gone to hell.

I know Trudeau has his problems but I’d rather have a leader like him than a leader like Trump, as an American, I’m jealous of you guys, I know he resigned but don’t pick Canada’s version of Trump.

for last many years Trudeau the idiot did bash trump & waisted time & money on ukiestan started wars with Saudi china india & ow russia accomplished nothing for Canadian economy

Trudeau spoke directly yo Trump, 'you are dumb' ! As POTUS, you are just a dumb President.

Trudeau is not even qualified to shine Trumps shoes ! I like how he acts like he is popular with his people he has done nothing for them but tax them into poverty and infringe on their rights ! He is on his way out with billions of stolen taxpayers dollars !?

It’s truly unbelievable how gullible people can be, and I’m not saying this to be cruel, this is just the straight truth. Justin Trudeau is a proven liar and an opportunist, plain and simple. Time and time again, he’s shown that he’ll say whatever fits his agenda, no matter how dishonest or manipulative. He’s openly embraced and pushed harmful, nonsensical ideologies, including radical transgender policies aimed at children. Without question, he’s been the most damaging Prime Minister in Canadian history. Under his leadership, Canada isn’t just struggling, it’s circling the drain. That speech everyone’s praising — he didn’t even write it. It’s all just another performance, another chance to prop up his fake image. The truth is, Trudeau has done far more harm to this country than good, and that’s the reality whether people want to admit it or not.\n\nAnd for all the Trump haters out there, it’s incredible, actually baffling, how nobody seems to be talking about the billions and billions of taxpayer dollars that have been completely wasted — just vanished into thin air. You don’t hear a word about that. It’s unbelievable. Meanwhile, America’s borders were secure under Trump, but you never hear about that either. And let’s not forget, men weren’t allowed to compete against women in sports, which should be common sense, but somehow even that’s controversial now. The silence on all of it is staggering. It’s absolute insanity.

Trudeau is wrong about one thing: Trump is not smart. Trump is a fucking moron. And so is anyone who still supports him.\nFAFO

In Canada, there is a lot of divisiveness between our conservative and liberal political parties. But what is incredible is how much support Trudeau holds in this trade war conflict . While his reign is nearly over, nationally all political parties have come together (in majority numbers) for a unified approach. Trump has single-handedly ostracized the United States from the rest of the world.

As unpopular Trudeau is in Canada, he is 1000 times better than Madman Trump. Canadians should appreciate what they have

Mr Trudeau, most Americans are with you 100%. We don’t want this, it’s ridiculous. Please know this Trump action is not the will of the American people. He acts alone and with stupidity that cannot be explained. We love Canada, Mexico, Europe, and all our allies. I feel we are being held hostage by one man and his sycophant cult. Please help us. ?

Trudeau is a clown & crook took all his bank accounts of Truckers protest him . He should be in jail for that .He done a terrible job . He got in an airplane right way to DC to see Pres Trump when he won the election . Before & Now With new Tariffs Canadians don’t like Trudeau . They want him out so bad ! He was a cov fool.

Mélanie barely keeping it together as Trudeau calls Trump by his given name = Priceless!

I agreed with everything Trudeau said, except when he said Trump is a very smart person. Stupid is what stupid does. Trump does stupid like no other. This is Canada's time to shine. We need our pipelines flowing to both the East and West coasts. It is time for Canadians to invest in Canada and cut our dependence on U.S. trade.\nAmericans need to start understanding, it is Americans who pay the tariffs. They are just a tax. It has nothing to do with the border, or drugs, or migration. This is a tax on the working class and the poor so the rich can continue to get 5 TRILLION dollars in tax cuts.

This has nothing to do with fentanyl. Trump has been jealous of Trudeau from the beginning. Especially when he saw how Melania looked at him. And because Canada is his Ukraine.

Trudeau is not a scumbag let somebody name starting with t and his cronies yeah they made a good deal and he broke it Trudeau is a real politician and he's for the betterment of his people and his neighbors Trump and his people or not I'm with you so I'm with Trudeau and all-americans who don't want a dictatorship I will not bow down to a self-made King with tin plated ego with delusional of God hood that go's for Elon also needer is not a good business man always had some one do it for them \n.that drug who owns ships qe all know Trump lies and musk??

Nooo, Mr Trudeau, why are you exposing the effect of tariffs!!?? Now Trump will reconsider his policies... I want him to go all-out!!

God bless PM Trudeau ?\n\nGod bless you, President Zelensky ? \n\nTrump, Shame on you !\nYou abandon Ukraine and Europe just to lick Putin and get some business in Russia !\nYou have no shame ! ! \n\nIsrael, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nrich Arab states will offer Trump\nsome good business, \nsurely Trump will abandon Israel !\nand will take sides with Hamas, Hizballah, Arabs, Iran, Turkey ! !\n\nTaiwan, be prepared !\nTrump is Judas !\nSomeday, in the near future,\nXi Jinping will offer Trump some good business, surely Trump will abandon Taiwan !\nand will take side with China ! !

Trudeau, focus on fixing your own country first. The high taxes, the massive carbon taxes that Canadians do not want, and the rising grocery and housing prices are becoming unbearable. Stop shifting blame onto President Trump. While he works hard for his country, you should be doing the same for yours.

Not a fan of Trudeau but Trump. Canada should be proud to have this man who have balls to stand up against lunatic Trump and Vance.

Justin, you are a charismic guy, and your hands are bigger than Trump's. What comes into our country across the northern border is the responsibilty of the American government, not the Canadian's. TRUMP, this should be your prioruty, not PM Trudeau's. His cute socks are far more appealling than your orange spray tan.

Born in Europe, brought up and trained into my profession as a researcher, in France, in the UK, in the Middle East, in Africa, and having been a permanent resident of the USA for almost 25 years, I can state that I agree 100 with what Trudeau stated, with the exception of one little detail If Donald Trump is as Mr. Trudeau suggests, an intelligent man, than he is simply detesting all Americans... and if is able to prove me wrong than one has to accept that Mr. Trudeau is wrong in believing Mr Trump to be an intelligent man, because even a ten-year-old is understanding that this tariff war is truly stupid and will not only damage the economy but will further deplete the coffers of businesses that are essential to world growth.

As much as I hate the idea of Americans suffering at the hands of Trump, I think PM Trudeau should cut Niagara power to the American side! Trump wants to play games, then Canada should stop the flow of everything coming into the U.S. just to show DJT how tariffs really work!

Im Canadian and let me tell you, the hatred for Trudeau was everywhere. And Pierre Polieve was a shoe in. Since Trump started all this trade war stuff, a lot of us are looking at Trudeau differently. Its almost like Trump is doing this to make us Canadians like Trudeau again lol

Trudeau, Zelensky and Sheinbaum are what integrity, courage and leadership looks like. Trump is a just pathetic bully who has no idea what these words even mean.

THIS IS A LEADER! This is how a leader should speak. Without an ounce of arrogance but full of factful compassion. Truth be told, Mr Trudeau is one of my favourite leaders of a country. He may have issues, but which leader doesn't right. Look at what Trump is doing now. Great speech, Sir. I feel so proud of ??.

We stand with president Trump. You go down, Trudeau. You are not a friend.

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Trudeau think Trump never thought of anything like that.Trump plays chess while you play, checkers.

I must disagree with PM Trudeau. These tariffs are dumb and yes Donald Trump is a very dumb person and not qualified to represent the USA. Oh before I forget how soon do you think he will drop all sanctions aganist Russia and their dictator.

I always thought Trudeau is a weak leader but when facing the dictator ,Trump, he becomes a strong leader.

I thought Canadians hated Trudeau ? Or is their hate for Trump grater like brainwashed Americans?

Trudeau is doing FAR more damage to Canada than Trumps tariff…STOP hiding behind this tariff war and let us vote you OUT !!!!

Trudeau is crying, Trump is doing business, nothing personal?

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Trump smart, I mean come on, that should have been a doozy!

Trudeau you stick to your own country. \nWe elected Trump. Let us worry about us. \nStart helping your own. \nGood luck, Canadaians. We want to help you rid yourself of him.❤❤loves from America
