I admire this speech. However, Mr. Trudeau. Did you know that most trump voters cannot watch any factual or well meaning news? Nope, they cannot. So when they hear your pleas second hand they'll just laugh at you. Sorry

Trudeau is a total DICKHEADD always trying to scare americans, AND hes hella manipulative , he shoud worry about canadians and stop trying to pep talk U.S natives like were babies , we know whats up, hes just mad that we Americans are standing up to the bullshit were fuckenn tired as well,, weve been seeing prices go up, and thats why were fighting back , FUCKK YOUUUU CANADA AND YOUR LEADER!. straight up like that,, yall dont give a fucc about us yall never do. yall didnt send help when the fires were happening in california.

I am a USA citizen, and I support Canada, and I hope your government stands strong against our dictator. It's about time that someone puts Trump in his place. And if he continues to trash Mexico, we will stand with her as well. There are many Americans who think our current President is a menace to the world. He is greedy, arrogant and filled with pride. God Bless Canada!!

Well said. This president should be throughly investigated. Trump is no material for president of the United States. Who is he working for? Not the American people in my view.

I’m an American from Georgia ….this is just sad! I am just ashamed of our government. Good for Canada…. Don’t back down, stand firm. Very well spoken.

I thought Trudeau was stepping down? O well all the low iq cux will still clap like seals bc he said orange man bad

Well said, God I wish Trump would take a course on public relations

When a Canadian starts to speak sternly to you, you know: Shit is coming. As a German, I am with the Canadian people. Please, don’t let yourselves get confused: Trumps blisteringly incompetent management is what the 36% of Americans who voted for him deserve, as well as the about 30% of Americans who DIDN’T vote at all. Sorry for the other about 34%. On a side note: Amazing, how Trudeau still flatters Trump at the end. Very diplomatic and manipulative. Because Trump is so dump, he falls for shit like that.

Trump is provoking Canada into cutting energy supplies to the northern states, to set US citizens against Canada, as a prelude to an attempt to annex Canada. This could be explained if Trump has been talking to Putin and colluded on a plan to divide the world between them. This would also explain his insane plan to annex Gaza, as an excuse to react to the inevitable violence that would attract on its 'American' territory. Taking Greenland would be next, while Putin moves into Europe. Well done, American voters...you've killed us all.

Some of us in America are appalled at this behavior, I am so sorry! Trump and his administration are an embarrassment to us as well!

?? proud ??\nWords I didn't recently think I'd ever use: well done, Mr. Trudeau! WELL DONE!

Well-spoken!! I agree!

@Tradeau, Stop lecturing us about tariffs and threatening Americans. Your country has high taxes, and before it affects Americans, Canadian citizens will feel the consequences more. Additionally, stop pushing illegal immigrants and fentanyl across the US border. You call it a trade war, but we Americans call it a fair deal. You were well informed about the consequence but you never got serious about the warning. Canada must check strictly shipments from Mexico and China.

Professor Jeffrey Sachs put it well regarding Trumps deficits with countries and so charging them tariffs…. “it’s like you maxed out your credit card all over town and then blamed the businesses who sold you those goods and services for selling them to you”!!

Good man well done.

I can't be arsed to listen to this ? end, Trump just struck a 160 billion dollar deal in chip manufacturing that is only the start of what he is going to do for America.\nJust one deal has just put Trudeau back in his box ?\nThe sooner this commie establishment puppet is gone the better it will be for Canada.\nGood luck with this puppet talking for you Canada, I wish you well!

Well, he will not be able to blame Biden for this one. This is all Trump, no matter the outcome.

Well trump is a criminal rapist and a lier wtf do you think he was goint to work with with putin another criminal

I swear my encourage was Obama to learn English. He spoke very well. When I listen to Trump I want to forget it

Well\nAmericans hows DONALDOV TRUMPOV...

All I can say to Trump is that history is never wrong. Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Saddam Hussein, Anastasio Somoza, Kadafy, Bashar al-Assad, and others tried the same playbook. It didn't go well for them. Did it, Trump? The isolation our country from the rest of the world and the hostile environment you are creating will lead to history repeating itself. But, you will never know. because you are an ignorant uneducated idiot. you deserve whatever history has in store for you. Good luck with that.

I'm from India feel like Trump is like more of business dealer of selfish goals and objectives he's not at all people person to lead such powerful country like usa is at like joker and back steper as well although his make frendship wiy dictators whom along United States fout against just 21 century joker and dictator like a Hitler.?

As an American, I am ashamed that my country somehow chose to re-elect this ghoul and his circus train of hangers-on. God bless you. I wish you and the rest of the free world the best. Just know that the many (likely the majority) of us down here now oppose and revile him as well.

well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

Thank you for setting limits on the oligarchs! They understand nothing except money into the toll booths they've set up in the pathways to acquire products. They care nothing for the American people, let alone any other people. They are not interested in anything but disrupting and dismantling the US economy, as well as every other economy except Russian, so that they can THINK that they are controlling the world. As they are groveling at the feet of the Russian dictator, they are under the illusion that they will rule along side him. They will not and will be kicked aside as soon as they are no longer useful to him.

Ya”ll should’ve actually do something with the surplus of money you get every year from American citizens. While we over here can’t truly afford anything, every other country is getting richer, well it stops now.

Well said Trudeau. We still won’t vote Liberal. As a reminder.

Trump is a Dictator. This will not end well. Most Americans are too stupid to realize it.

Well said.

Well Canada that is what you get for booing our national anthem and not following orders. If you're not going to secure your border then get ready for those tariffs.

I just watch mr trump speak with regards to tariff impose on canada mexico and china..he's proud in saying that a lot of foriegn companies will soon build factories and offices in the US. Providing billions of jobs and revenue. He said that if these companies would come to the United States where will be no tariff, lower taxes and easy life for the Americans. My question is: is he trying to kill other countries?? He said Ukriane is gambling with WW3, well i can say its WAR with GUNS..what he is doing is already WW3 using economic saborage...just my opinion...

Well we all need know what we need to do. Impeach!!’

Donald the Dumbo. Well said. The world has to stand up to this Bully

Well done PM Trudeau! ??? Yes its defo Dumb, i wonder who did it.???

This guy is so well spoken and we are stuck with a Silver Spooned Joe Dirt. FML

Well done, PM Trudeau. You made us proud as Canadians. You said it like it is. Donald, and I noticed you refrained from calling him President Trump because he is certainly not acting like a president, Donald is siding with our enemies, snuggling up to a malicious dictator rather than taking a stand for right and for the common good. He has absolutely no reason to impose tariffs and is actually breaking legal agreements to do so, but we all know that Trump believes he is above the law. If you like this speech, go and listen to Premier Ford of Ontario as he threatens to tariff all the energy which flows into the States or even just cut it off. Nobody wins in this war, certainly not Americans. But Elon and Donald don't care. They are filthy rich and will just plan chaos and world domination in their sandbox while everyone else in the USA takes the hit.

Well well Justy, what don’t you do not understand about Canada to stop drugs being allowed to enter across the Canada US border???

Trump's destroying relations with an ally? Well Putin is certainly laughing about it.

Well said, not a big Trudeau guy but I'm impressed. Pierre will bow down to Trump in an instant.

This is how a Countries Prime minister acts and talks something Donald Trump could learn from. Well done, Canada and well done to the Canadian people.

As an American, we are friends of Canada. I am sorry the tariffs will harm both sides. It is a dumb thing to do. We repect your need to defend your interests. Mr Trudeau well spoken.

This is the impoverishment of the middle class and every ordinary citizen of the world in order to bring about the new world order. It's well planned. You will own nothing and be happy.

trump is finished already dont deal with usa block them out of everything and look to other markets uk , europe, asia etc well done sir respect from the uk.

The drug and immigration issue is smoke and mirrors. Don’t buy into it. You have a narcissist who looks for issues to motivate his moronic followers. Who , by the way are for the most part well off and affluent.\nJust not well educated and not well versed on the problems of the World.

Well done Prime Minister!\nHope Italy can do the same, as well as the entire Europe.

I’m an American and would never vote for Trump. I hope the tariffs that Canada, Mexico and China crush our economy so his cult will see what a moron he is. This will hurt me as well but it has to be done.

Trudeau now you're talking about the well-being of people in Canada what about when we had that thing where everybody had to get the shots you know the new normal since when do you care about the people in Canada?

You act like your broke well paying time my guy welcome
