For anyone outside of Canada, don’t be fooled by Trudeau. He resigned right before getting fired. He has completely destroyed the Canadian economy. Parliament is still closed because of his party. He has taxed and silenced Canadians for years. Can’t trust a word a from him when it comes to this drug epidemic when our cities and small towns are flooded with drugs and crime.

Canada is on track to become the next world superpower, so long as Trump doesn't hand the keys to the kingdom to Putin first. The American people do not want this. I pray the people can take back their country before we collapse.

After hearing his speech-I’d rather go live in Canada- he gave it to everyone straight up and came with respect and honesty like a representative should-trump should’ve took notes.

USA farmers are really going to suffer. Doesnt like 80% of the fertiliser they use not come from Canada.

I do believe i have family by blood in Canada, now I know i have family by moral all over Canada. This may hit you first, it will hit us too. May we stand united against this sorrow. With absolute respect from a scandinavian citizen

I'm an American citizen. trump is not my president . He is a orange boy looking for red dog comminst love. china russian or north korea. Sorry Canada ?? trump musk sucks comminst ass.... I love Canada ??. Thank you for your time and videos.

prime minister justin trudeau is handsome i stand with canada Iam a american

Guess who is happy US, Canada trade war, Russia But US doesn’t know that Putin is nobody’s friend. He will stab US in its back wait and watch.\nCanada will stand strong, united always ❤??

I've always loved Canada. Stand firm.

Wonderfully calm speech. One can listen to Trudeau. All the very best to Canada

Trump is the aggressor… what do they expect leaders from the free world to do? Sit there and take it? Go Canada!

Can I move to Canada?

Canada should first implement trudeau. New person should be elected. Then that person should visit the oval office with trump in, then trump must say to that guest you don't have the cards to play, with us only you have the cards ?

I am an American. I hope Canada know all of us did not vote for Trump! I stand with our allies and I stand with Canada!

Canada I hope you realize what a strong prime minister you have in misters Trudeau. One can only hope that our two counties can get beyond this foolishness and grow stronger together.

Nobody needs Canada ?

That Paula Newton lady is framing this like this is Canada's fault, not that the US started this whole situation. Canada is only responding to getting punched in the face by saying they won't let themselves continue to get punched, which is 100% reasonable. Sorry both Americans and Canadians will have to deal with this insanity and the rest of the world will have to deal with the ramifications of Trump's destructive policy.

This is Trump's attempt at a hostile takeover of Canada as if it can be done the same as venture capitalism.

Don’t worrry Canada, The EU and UK are still your friends

He can posture and act tough all he wants but Canada will suffer much more than the United States. If you want fairness then make it an equal playing ground between countries. The majority of Americans, not like most of the liberals commenting here support Donald Trump

My deepest and sincerest respect for Trudeau and Canada.?? will go out and buy all the possible maple syrup tomorrow. Keep strong and sending you strength from the Netherlands.

What a speach... ? Trudeau is a living picture of how a head of a civilised country should appear, talk and behave on political, international stage. Congratulations Canada!

go canada! greetings from austria

Canada deserves better. You arre not alone. European allies & the commonwealth stands with you. Respect to Trudeau to standing up to trump more countries now need to do the same. USA has fallen we need to be united against this emerging threat to peace, a worried Brit.

Canadians may be respectful people ! But , Trudeau is not respected ! Quite simple ! Well done Trump ! Get back to the early days Canada ! Get rid of Trudeau!

I am appalled by the american journalists. The way they both were talking about it is implying that Canada (e.g. we, as I am Canadian) are starting war against them. Justin said it as it is - the war was started by USA. But apparently, if Ukraine could be the aggressor ?(repeated many times over now by the American propagandists), so are we.

President Trump should not rule out nuclear options to respond to this nonsense. Lets see what Canada can do then.

Canada is being too gentle in its initial response. Why not go full throttle right from the get go. It’s shameful what “the most powerful country in the world”,”the land of the free” or whatever arrogant nickname the USA wants to go by. It makes me so sad to feel so angry at the USA knowing that so many of its citizens are good, great people. How can a country which has contributed so so much to the world become so reviled? I’m agog.

Through Canada to USA comes tons of drug's, look at Vancouver and Toronto, USA not only gets goods from Canada we get illegal immigrants and drug's. Canada has dirty oil, that USA has to refine to use. Shame both countries can't work together and be strong. Ukraine Zelensky just wants money, don't care about his people, and will cause WWW111 if countries keep giving to him.

Canada ...I'm so sorry. Please know that Trump does not represent the US citizens. It was a crazy moment that got out of control, and now the country is his hostage. Please help us.

As an American, I stand with Canada. Most of us love Canada, and tons of Americans did not want this. Still, too many did because they don’t understand what they’re doing.

Congratulations Canada!!! Trudeau stood on business!! Don't back down!!

This looming tariff squabble between these once-chummy nations needs to hit the discussion table, stat! So, let’s roll out a grand convoy led by Canada’s finest, Terrance and Phillip, to face off with a U.S. special delegation spearheaded by the legendary Eric Cartman. We propose this showdown happens near Niagara Falls, where the mist can douse the heated trade tensions. Canada better 'respect his authoritah,' or the U.S. might just demand a full refund—starting with trade of Mike Myers for Michael Myers!!

So sorry Canada ?? , the best and only excuse we have here in the US is that the trump administration does not know what he or they of what they are doing. They are the worst administration in American history. And No, trump is not a smart guy at all. Sorry again, Canada.

Trump’s rich friends who can’t compete with Canada have paid Trump to make things more expensive, so they can gouge Americans with high prices we need to accept, because we now have no alternative.

The US has literally painted itself in a corner. I hope Canada is close to a deal with the EU. Europe is more trustable than America.

Very impressive! Canada said, you can go kick rocks!?

An intelligent coherent clear 'truth' based speech - now compare that to Trump. Go Canada {from me in the UK]! I just hope we stand up to the US with the same strength. Not sure our PM has the same backbone unfortunately.

Just bann all American products across canada, develop your partnerships with Mexico and Central America countries. They have the rigth of imposing whatever tariffs they want. See how Russia developed their own industry when all west companies left after the war. There is nothing better than those tariffs. For both parts. But, if you want to give your but, keep giving it to them.

One of our greatest allies,so terribly sad,we support Canada ?,thank you for caring for us,God Bless all of us

New Zealand stands with you Canada 100%

I see a global boycott coming. Not just Canada. Every person on this rock that doesnt stand with the US choosing other alternatives.

Respect to Canada. Marvellous country. You have inherited the best legacy of Europe.

It's ok we're rich, and Canada ?? will be the 51st State of the United States ??

Canada should join the EU. And one more thing: Donald is not smart.

An old criminal who didn't respect his own signature ... From Canada !

As an American, I stand with Canada.

I'm with Canada.

Trump wants our natural resources from us Canada ?? it's simple

Canada ?? we love you,great speech.So intelligent,not like your neighbour.
