maybe he should have done what he said he was going to do.

I love that he pitches part of this in Sesame Street language and tone that just maybe Trump will understand \nLove you Canada from the U.K.

It takes the PM of Canada to explain to the American people, in very clear and concise terms, the cost of having elected Trump. I've yet to see anything even close from any of our elected Democrats. But maybe, it has to come from someone outside, without the political baggage, even if we did have a strong, articulate political opposition to the Trump and the feckless GOP.

From: Philippines maybe usa messed it up, I don't trust usa government anymore.

Mister Prime Minister, you could have used your time much better than speaking directly to Trump and hoping he is listening ..... maybe taking a big dump ....

Maybe Trudeau can use the tariff incomes to expand Canadas military? I suggest pilot training and recruitment in the RCAF and RCN.

Lord I am so sorry you felt the need to stroke djt's ego by claiming he's smart . He is not. He is evil and once he gets what he wants from an individual, organization or country, you are expendable. Maybe st decent Americans do not want this or want to see our Northern neighbors suffer. We are in this together and we will resist this together. Canada strong!????????✌️

This made me laugh. ''This is some of the strongest language we have heard yet from the Prime Minister'' and ''He was using that harsh language'' ''All things that we have heard him say and maybe more nicer or friendlier terms before, but now your hearing a very direct harsh language from the Prime Minister'' Referring to Justin calling him by his first name and telling him he is a very smart guy but it's a very dumb thing to do. Really? mmmm Double standard ?

Funny I didn't hear this phony express his concern over American inflation when Biden tanked our energy policies and inflation ran to a record 9% within 18 months of him taking office. Maybe sit this one out soy boy. We don't care what you have to say after what you did to your truckers

If you believe a word of Trudeau you are blind he is as for left as they get and he has done more to ruin his country than tariffs ever will maybe Trudeau shouldn’t have legalized drugs he is side tracking his pro drug usage i thought he resigned the drug problem in Canada is by far greater than he will admit

It will hurt but maybe this will wake up some of those that voted for him. Go Canada

Maybe long industry will come back to the United States and all of the kids I went to high school with have jobs again they haven’t had since the late 2000’s

Thank you Canada. Maybe feeling Trump's policies directly will get into the heads of the selfish MAGA Americans and shake them free from their cult. Sadly, the welfare of their fellow Americans wasn't enough to vote for democracy, and now they will have to personally feel the pain. We, the defenders of democracy, will feel it too, but it's necessary to shake some sense into these idiots. This is years of Russian propaganda coming to fruition. Sorry Canada, I have voted against this, I have written and called my representatives, I have written and called politicians across the states begging them to stand up for us. I have gone to protests, I have done everything I can do while still remaining peaceful. Hopefully your country's justified retaliation can prevent the inevitable next step.\n\n-American progressive, USMC veteran, ally to Canada, Ukraine, and Europe.

Yankee doodles forget who they called to land their planes when 9/11 struck and they attacked themselves and people took them into their own homes….the world is going to respond. And maybe next time you can land your planes in the Atlantic instead of on our Rock. \n\nLargest Military on the Planet and you Can’t put out a few flames? LA California Burned to the Ground…But somehow you needed our water bombers and Helicopters? \n\n9/11 Struck and we shipped countless personnel to help and assist and relieve, recover, and rebuild. \nYou went to war with the Wrong Countries and we Went with you anyway. \n\nAmerican Companies Helped the Nazi’s building mass execution chambers and Tattooing machines for labelling. Hell, even going so far as a few years ago to try billing Germany for unpaid products received. \n\nAnd yet we still Ally with them?….\n\nWe are now turning off your Power supply. We Will Match your Tarriffs. \nAnd we will Fight you On or Off the Ice! \n\nOh and we’re putting Tarriffs on Silver. Apparently you Go home with Silver too often.

????????????\nNext, let's turn off their electricity for an hour and see how they'd react. Or maybe, for day. Or...?

Maybe it's time for Canada to get together with Great Britain and with EU and put economic sanctions on the USA?

Hey if it makes you feel better Canada, the DOW dropped 1000 points in 24 hours and is still dropping. Dumb dumbs are going to blame dems and Biden maybe even Obama for that.

Maybe Canada should say thank you for the trade and the US regime would be happy..

Maybe we can get Canada to buy Maine back. I’d love to be Canadian.

Donald Trump claims to be a Christian but what he is doing to other countries and his own country by firing people from government jobs is totally against God God gives life he don't take it and he would never have sent people to the streets just because some politicians created a job for the people this is going to cause people to lose their homes vehicles and their livelihood it is totally evil. And then placing these tariffs on other countries is no less than say I want your country he wants Canada he wants Panama, he wants Ukraine's lithium. And he wants to take it all and he is wrong in that because he is affecting people's lives and God Almighty will not put up with Donald Trump giving into the spoiled brat Elon Musk and his dictatorship attitude. Both Elan and Trump have no heart for the poor or the hardship they have placed on these people but God Almighty has a heart for the people who have lost their jobs and their livelihood because of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. In the book of Isaiah God said to the people that were coming against Israel, you have pissed on a wall. And everybody knows that when you piss on a wall it's going to come back on you and that's exactly what's happened. They didn't do it to the people that lost their jobs they did it to God Almighty who loves all people and wants them to have their wages. Maybe Elon Musk knows everything about technology and space craft, but the man ain't got a lick a common sense he has exactly zero wisdom when making decisions. But his greatest lack as he has no heart for the people who are going to be disrupted by losing their jobs he doesn't feel a thing he has no heart he needs to read the Bible because that's where your heart gets developed and you know right from wrong. And you know what God approves of and what he doesn't, and I'm telling you right now God Almighty does not approve of what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing. I voted for him, and now I am ashamed that I voted for him because he never mentioned he was going to do all this horrible horror to the very American people that voted for him. Now I pray for God's divine intervention because what he's doing to the American people and to other countries is not right

Trump an intelligent guy? In scamming people, maybe. 9 years old read better than that idiot.

I love the way he just said Make that make sense.. maybe I should move to Canada as a veteran I am very embarrassed by this stupid dumb shit president

Canada been mooching off the usa for decades! Maybe Canada should volunteer to drop all the tariffs they have on us if they want to be friends. Why is it ok for them to have tariffs on us but we can't have tariffs on them? Canada started this terrific war years ago and the USA NEVER DEFENDED THEMSELVES! Why do we call them our ally when all they do is take? We have a hundred billion dollar trade deficit with them already. Canada funds their imaginary socialist utopia off the backs of Americans and it's time to stop the bleeding.

All of this by the way is just a distraction by Trump. He did not do what he said he would do day one, notice groceries are still expensive. We did everything he asked and more. So, there is something else going on. Maybe Trump plans to use emergency measures to attack Canada, physically, just to get our oil, our minerals, our water and our land. Maybe, who knwos.

Trump is weakening America, he is weakening Canada, he is weakening Mexico, and for what? \n\nMaking it easier for Putin to threaten Canada. Maybe Trump wants to annex Canada to have our minerals, water, oil and our access to the Arctic sea.\n\nEurope, Canada, Mexico, Ukraine and many more are fed up with the Musk/Trump combo.

Well Trump maybe want to do like Putin.. expand there territory ? like ’invade’ Canada.. Stand by Canada ❤

Bye bye castro junior. Have fun with your trade war. When you Canadians elect a real leader maybe we can talk.

NATO General Clark says Canada couldn't have been a better allie in NATO. ?\n\nIDK... maybe they could have paid their fair share of GDP. ?

Maybe the US should fight poverty and social injustice so that people don't flee into drugs. Just a hint.

Maybe Trudeau you should have stood up for Canadians, Military and Border security and technology 8 years ago instead of other things you put money in or sent overseas. Yes you and Premiers are stepping up now and if direct flights were coming in to NS that you wanted 5 years ago we would have another Vancouver prices here.

Ahhhh poor DEMS, maybe you all should move to Canada, with the others

Simply stop the drugs crossing the border. Or maybe you're compromised. I stand with the Truck drivers.

Isn’t that the former president of the 51st state? I thought they got rid of him, maybe that’s why he wants to act so tough. Not fooling anyone though we know a Girl Scout when we see them. Canadians should really take away his toys before big brother comes and takes your whole room and everything in it.

You have power, guys. Temporary hardships might happen, but basically we all need to hold for 4 years, maybe less. We all can do it only together ?

Maybe Trump work for Putin??

Nice words. Allied? Maybe some years ago

Trump stopped targeting Russian hackers. The US ordered cyber command to longer monitor Russisn hackers or to go after them. \n\nTrump ends the consumer watching agency that protected the US citizens from fraud and cyber fraud and the watching general who was tasked to monitor fake money scams like some bit coins which many are dark web money payments from crooks and money laundering. I wonder who this move helped? All of the inspector generals who were looking ok not the scam artist and corporate welfare wuuen Elon Musk. \n\nI was just hearing that gas prices are going up a dollar at least tomorrow, so you had better go and fill up. it's about all any of us can do at this juncture, is my guess. The tariffs are a tax on all of us, plus the oil we used to get from Canada is now going to China or Europe. I'd tend to say you all should be thanking a Republican. Prices up in groceries? thank a Republican. Inflation going up? thank a Republican. thousands of jobs lost. Thank a republican. higher gas prices? Thank a Republican. Don’t forget, thank a Republican, the switchboard number to the House of Representatives is 202-224-3121 be sure and call and let them know what you think. thank your representatives. Firing Veterans thank a Republican. Firing the people who care for the Veterans, thank Republicans. The cascading job losses can be attributed to Trump and his tariffs and the tariff wars. Maybe it will be a depression he will cause worldwide? Thank a republican.\nRuined our government and ruined our status in the world. Thank a Republican.

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

Canada 51st state?Better say please and dont forget to ask KING CHARLES III of CANADA The King might say NOT FOR SALE to dementia patients CANADA NOT FOR SALE DID iJUST NOT SAY THAT dONNY In case you forgot CANADA NOT FOR SALE maybe just maybe for rubles not for american money Donny how about YOUR face on the one dollar George is getting too old,dang didnt mean to put ideas in your demented mind

Maybe Canada should lower their terrifs on America and make it more fair.

This man and his liberals have done more damage to Canada than Trump ever could. Trudeau is such a drama queen. Maybe drop the act, stop laundering money, and smuggling drugs. So worried about the tariffs - you have done even worse to us with your BS carbin tax. All you liberals are completely corrupt.

To all Canadian citizens, we Americans who did not vote for Trump are very sorry! We know he’s an idiot. Stand strong against him. Maybe, just maybe the clowns in Congress here might get some cues!

Dear American.. You voted for the wrong person .. That agent, KGB Krasnov ( trump ) , will destroy your country.. Take today that idiot down, because - tomorrow, maybe - too late .

I'm British and thought long and hard about what I'd miss if I boycott US companies. Amazon and Costco most likely. But maybe I'll have to do it

U.S. Farming just died...maybe..

Do what you have to do Trudeau. We don’t blame you in America. Trump is disgracing us all over the world running this country into the ground. The stock market is down. Prices are up joblessness is up and this is before the tariffs. Maybe when these red state people can’t afford food, they will wake up to what we knew Our entire lives, watching the news in New York growing up. Trump‘s grandfather led to Europe to avoid mandatory military service. Not a single member of his family in-laws or any generation has ever served in the military. He has screwed over every contractor and blue-collar worker that ever works for him while grouping young, teen girls at his beauty pageants. Simultaneously bankrupting several casinos Trump state Trump airline Trump Water Stealing all the money from his charity, so he is never allowed to run a charity again and somehow, these morons elected him to be president of our country. If we have to hurt a little bit to get this cancer removed from our country so be it. Make America great again by praying for Trump to choke on a big Mac.

Maybe the Canadian gov can impeach Trump

Hopefully, the US quits giving Canada 200 billion a year in aid . This clown is trying to have Trump raise Canadians tariffs even more. Maybe close the Border .

Who does he think he is? To me he acts like a spoiled child, I wonder who. Maybe the same one who corrupted most of the European leaders.

Did you guys every think maybe the border guarding is an issue so that people can't escape once we start starving?
