I am an American and I want to say stay strong to Canadians. I am really sorry that this happened due to a bunch of idiots who voted for Trump.

Says the guy who has destroyed the Canadian economy ?

Absolutely NOBODY cares what Trudeau has to say, not even Canadians.

Justin Trudeau has been destroying Canada from 9 years ago\n\nI’m a Canadian living most of my life in Vancouver. \n\nPlease don’t say you admire us. \n\nYou are welcome to visit our cities and see how many homeless and drug addicts are on our streets.

I hate Trudeau as a Canadian I would love to see Poilievre take over for Canada, But i don't see what options other than retaliatory tariffs. Trudeau did the right thing really the only thing in regards to this as much as it pains me to say.

CNN = pro Canada Anti American .....makes me sick ....Canadian = someone punches them in the face and they say I'm sorry .

Don’t ever say HI to a Canadians they not are polite not even try saying hi to a Canadian on the street they look at you act like your an aliens

This guy's has taxed the idiot Canadians up the ass. Keep jacking up the tarrifs trump and teach them a lesson. And I am not interested in anything this loser says.

Wait... Remember how this Canadian PM abused the rights of truckers through an authoritarian device... This man is a loser... Saying that men can compete in women's sports. Canada is a liberal globalist war mongering country.

As a Canadian i say.. trump send the troops and come liberate us

Most Americans despise what Europe has turned into….a woke, globalist cesspool controlled by people like Soros and institutions like the WHO, WEF, ICC, and NATO. Their ultimate goal is for people to have zero national identity and to not be able to live without a welfare state. \n\nSome Canadian was crying online about tariffs saying good luck on your own against China. Buddy, you and Europe are socialist systems that can’t survive if not subsidized by the American taxpayers. Yeah it might sting us initially, but your whole system is going to be exposed and now you’re throwing a tantrum. It’s pathetic! Have fun owning the reconstruction of Ukraine and providing security guarantees. You guys can kick and scream all you want, Americans murdered Neo-Conservatism this election and it’s never coming back.

Trudeau isn't saying this because he's stepping down. He's saying this because it reflects how we Canadians feel. We're beyond angry. You are not our friends now. You've made yourselves our enemy.

^^ of course Donald Gay Dumb doesn't like Justin Trudeau, because everything that the Canadian PM says, make sense... ????

Just call him dumb... That's what I love about Canadians so polite, but Justin you can say he's dumb-AF! It's OK!! ;-)

Canadians. Hang in there. WE WILL take care of this pig, once and for all! And I pray our friendship will be even stronger for it, in the end. I believe I speak for most Americans when I say, you are our brothers and sisters. That is how I feel about it, anyway. This Sc**bag will not succeed! He is NOT my President! ..IMPEACH KRASNOV NOW!!!

Highest respect for Trudeau for speaking out and fighting back for both the canadians and americans. He is right when he says no one wins in a trade war.

I have never been more proud to say that I am a Canadian! Canada, I love you forever!

I have never been more proud to say that I am a Canadian! Canada, I love you forever!

Being the US's neighbor wasn't a choice. It's geography. For decades we worked together to create a safe and friendly border. Then a broken and rotted manchild fooled the ignorant into voting his toxicity into power and all that work stands to fall. I'm sure there are many Canadians that agree with me when I say, how I wish we could simply paddle our land over to the EU AWAY from the crumbling US, which will soon be welcoming the likes of putin and Kim Jong Un with open arms.

A Canadian here - I disagree with Trudeau, trump is not a smart guy, I can't say what I want about the grifter-in-cheif, it goes against community standards.

He can huff and puff all he wants. But, he's leaving soon. Nothing he says matters. Things will change soon for the Canadian people. Why you're even giving this waste of space airtime is beyond me.

Honestly I don't know why people hate on prime minister Trudeau I think he did an amazing job during a time when nobody could predict what was happening during covid and I am glad he is speaking out because in my opinion Trump has lost his mind I am not joking I think he either has dementia or dementia? and he has been making fun of Canada ever since he got elected again and what is wrong with Americans that they re-elected this person that made their country a laughingstock honestly it makes no sense to me❤ and from him saying he's going to make Canada a state of his we are bigger than your whole f**** country you stupid bastard? sorry but he makes me so angry and yes I am a proud Canadian❤

Has a Canadian from Southern Ontario I don't know why no one is just saying it Trump does not like Trudeau look at the things Trudeau said about Trump behind his back and when he was not president this has everything to do with getting back at Trudeau

Well said Canadian PM Trudeau! Thank you for saying the truth! We millions & millions of Americans are with Canada and agrees with you! Stay strong against the felon President, he's hurting the American people. Way to go Canada ??

? All I’ll say. If Canadians had an election tomorrow? Trudeau wouldn’t win. ? it’s funny, why hasn’t he resigned ……. this is what a dictator looks like. The world hates him, not just Canadians.

Everything he says he's done are things he only did because Trump forced him to do it. The Canadian government is one of the world's largest drug dealers and criminal organizations.

I agree with our Canadian friends & neighbor.....100% doesn't make sense.....I say fight fight fight Canada......we would do the same thing if our borders were threatened by any means from anyone. The majority of Americans stand with you in solidarity.

Even as a Canadian who is not a fan of Trudeau I must say this is the best speech he’s given. I’m proud that Canada is standing strong against the USA right now. Well done Trudeau.

As a european I say we have to increase co-operation with canadians and put stop this insanity. Lets save what can be saved.

Canada has the winning hand. Canada has resources that USA needs to survive. USA has nothing to offer to Canada to survive. If Canada should cut energy to USA, let’s see who is the boss. For say, Canada is the biggest producer for potash, a fertilizer needed for the American fields. Canada will suffer from these tariffs but USA will cash down harder. Hell will come down on USA unfortunately hurting our American friends and relatives south of Canadian border.

Say yoir sorry. Kiss our ass. An maybe just maybe. I love my presideny. Better work on your military an your 2 % to nato. I dont like canadians i dont think we need you bye

I can confidently say as a Canadian, what Trump has done and continues to do is driving the biggest wedge between Canada and the USA. The jokes of Canada becoming a 51st state is outrageous and i speak for many fellow Canadians when saying - WE WILL DIE AS CANADIANS before bending the knee to America. This is exactly what Russia wants and the only true winner from this will be the countries praying on Canada and the US's downfall.

Trudeau is a communist. No one cares what he has to say including most Canadians.

Canadian, here we hate Trudeau he resigned over a month ago still running around acting like any of care what he says

Not too worried about what Turdeau has to say; it seems that most Canadians want to deport Him!

Trudeau is lying when he says they’re doing all they can. A giant fent lab was discovered in Canada in 2024 and no arrests have been made. Probably because the Chinese who fund it fleece Canadian politicians like they have been forever. Most of the world is ignorant to what is going on here. Look up Sam cooper and all the work he’s down to uncovering this.

Remember, no matter what he says.... his own people thought he wasnt fit for the canadian job. He is resigning. Get lost and go retire

I understand Canadians' support of Trudeau has waned over the years, but I must say he is a very charismatic speaker.

As a Canadian all I have to say is trudeau is a bad joke and he shouldn't be meddling in things when he will not even be around to deal with the aftermath

Stop saying CSZAR...we are canadian NOT RUSSIAN and not following in the foot steps of the US..TRY DIRECTOR!!!

you know we americans are pathetic. throw some unwarranted tariffs against canada and it bonds all Canadians together ready to fight. take a foreign born, unelected billionaire who takes a chainsaw to our government after a reactionary think tank wrote a document saying they were going to destroy our government an create an autocracy--- a think tank composed of people who are now in the trump administration----and now we are aligning with Putin and we americans do nothing. this is sad. we are losing our country

The announcer here says that Canadians will suffer but many Americans will too. She is not understanding that Americans are going to suffer far more from this than Canadians. According to the economists Canadians may actually benefit.

After leaching of US for so many decades they unite to tackle 25% tariff which is close to standard across rest of the world. Got to say canadian politician has mastered the art of LEACHING OFF US.

Says the Canadian dictator. Wake up Canada, you're being lied to.

He is still begging Trump and saying canada is a friend. Canadians did what America wanted to target china. When china did nothing to them. They should be friends with China not America. China did nothing to them.

FINALLY!!! \nThe UK and France should be utterly humiliated that a Canadian, the most polite of people, had to say it as it is!

That woman saying antiamericanism as a Canadian we aren't anti anything but Trump. CNN is now not saying anything bad against Trump now they use soft language you guys used to be the good guys. For the record China has sent delegates to Ottawa about byd and taking the tariffs off the car manufacturer and there is talk about 100 percent tariff on teslas. Long live Canada Slava Ukraine from Summerland bc Canada

Wait a second. Didn't Trudeau freeze the bank accounts of Canadians who were protesting government policy back in 2022? WHO CARES WHAT THIS COMMUNIST SAYS???

Again, I will say we Americans love our Canadian friends! You have every right to come down hard on America. Make it hurt! Maybe Republicans will finally wake up to how cruel and hateful Trump is and see that he is totally out to destroy America not only at home but abroad.

As a Canadian I have to say that Trudeau is the worst Prime Minister in Canadian history! He destroyed our country and economy. He doesn't respect Trump and Canadian people. That's why we are in this mess!
