Well said PM Trudeau!

Well said and very welcome from our military. As we are aware that you are all our last defense. So thank you for honoring your oath to protect the Constitution!! I love you for that.

President Trudeau, I can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone would call “the little tramp” smart…everyone knows even his professors at school said he was dummer than a ROCK!! This just proves him right. We stand with you and Europe and the Ukrainian people in hopes that Putin goes straight to hell. As well as the little tramp and his tiny little republican playmates.

Justin Trudeau has been forced to step down! \nCanada charges 25% tariff for all US goods exported into Canada! You notice how the ex Prime Minister doesn’t mention that this is a reciprocal tariff Canada charges us 25% for anything in the US export to them and some farm items they refuse to allow in their country! With that said! Justin Trudeau is a huge hypocrite, Tyrant, Dictator!

It is unbelievable how president of the US flirts with dictatorial regimes and challenges his partners. What in the world has happened. Just like Jim said Trump is a rabid dog.

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

Trump said secure your side of the border and stop the drugs.

TO CNN: I’d rather hear everything PM Trudeau said. Talk about it after we get to hear it all ourselves.

WELL SAID TRUDEAU ? ? ? ?✊?????\nTRUDEAU IS FIGHTING HARD FOR US LETS PROTEST TO SHOW WE APPRECIATE WHAT HE'S DOING!! ??????✊

putin once said trump is a useful idiot and the one that would bring the most damage to the country and look what he is causing.

I detected NO LIES........... please don't say AMERICANS because all of us don't AGREE with the American dictator! So glad I BELIEVE IN GOD! everything this man said is CORRECT! GOD HELP US??

South Park said it best. “Fuck Canada!”

He should have said ‘bigly’ instead of big

Trump has sold the lie that tariffs will pay for many great things. 1-It's a direct-to-consumer tax. 2-History has proven that tariff wars are bad for all concerned. P.S. Warren Buffet recently said that if all US corporations paid taxed like his companies do, We'd have no need for income taxes. Trump works from the other end of the tunnel that Ideally no taxes for corporations, and the wealth will trickle down and bless us all.

WELL SAID MY PRIME MINISTER! PITY YOU ARE LEAVING. YOU DID YOUR BEST, A PRIME MINISTER

Geez CNN, you did not let your American audience hear some of the most important things said! Americans, if you want to know everything, go to CBC and listen to the whole broadcast! AND GEEZ, American journalists STOP repeating the lies... you know from the facts on your own border website that THIS IS NOT ABOUT FENTANYL OR ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION! It's shocking to me how you all keep repeating Trump's false claims when you know they are FALSE!

600,000 views and only 39,000 likes. Enough said! The people of Canada wanted his resignation, and they got it! My government is doing what is needed to MAGA. So take yourself and your BS and get lost! ❤❤TRUMP MAGA

Chat gpt said prepare recesiion of 2 years at least.

As a Canadian by birth and an American citizen and US veteran by choice I detest Donald Trump. Trump is cancer that has metastasized to the whole Republican Party. General Milley was right when he said that Trump is the most dangerous person in America and by extension, the whole world. I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine.

We can't get mad at Canada this is exactly what Trump wanted you said once you said 100 times Trump does not give a damn about the American people

Wolf: “Americans are too dumb to listen to French so let’s blabber over the second half of the speech and repeat exactly what the PM said.”

Finally someone who said it bluntly! “The government DID THIS to us! We did not decide on this.”

well said Trudeau keep it up

No it didn’t it’s make you pay your way stop your drugs clean the border up and like tump said like for like tariffs Canada, despite its nose to save its face

Trump said that Canada is not a viable country but he wants them to be the 51st state. How does that make sense? From one senile fool President to another.

As much as I disagree with most of Trudeau’s domestic politics I must say that this was a good address and seems to be where he is strongest. With that said though I still would not vote liberal in the next election.

Well said that man! Trump is a filthy TRAITOR to America, he’s working for Putin! America, under TRAITOR Trump, is now a pariah country! America is now the enemy of every free democratic nation of the world !

Didn't this man resign back in January due to low approval ratings? Nobody takes you seriously Sir, not even your own citizens. You did not want to secure your own border when it was in both of our best interests to do so. President Trump said we are pursuing diplomacy, not siding with Russia. As he said, if you are trying to negotiate a deal between two enemies you can't cast one out and only deal with one. You need the two sitting at the table and you have to be fair to both sides. The liberals want an endless war so they can profit from it. Most of them are heavy investors with defense contractors and that is not a coincidence. It is a conflict of interest. I disagree with how President Trump handled that meeting as those tough conversations should have happened privately. Nonetheless those conversations absolutely needed to happen. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians dying and cutting blank cheques year after year with no end in sight is insanity. Each side is going to have to give something to end this.

I'm usually reasonable enough to realize that while I may disagree with many policy decisions, there's usually a relatively coherent line of thought to back said actions up. The problem here is that there’s no clear logic behind using tariffs as a tool to curb fentanyl trafficking or immigration. I'm not going to speak on the issue of immigration at the Canadian border because there simply is none. Yes, there are illegals from Canada, but almost 100% of them are from overstaying visas rather than crossing the border unlawfully. So let's talk about fentanyl. \n\nMost fentanyl in the US originates from China, often in precursor form, and is then processed in Mexico before being smuggled into the states. But it's typically trafficked in small, high potency quantities, often hidden in legitimate shipments or through mail, and only on very rare occasions is it being brought in by individuals crossing the border. It has _never_ been documented to have shipped in as part of large scale commercial imports, so a 25% tariff on legal trade with Canada and Mexico doesn’t directly target the black market supply chain at all.\n\nIf we take Trump’s reasoning at face value, the argument seems to be that he wants to exert economic pressure on Mexico and Canada as a means of having them crack down harder on drug trafficking networks. But the issue is that fentanyl simply isn’t coming in through mass import channels, so all this looks like is a punitive measure without a clear mechanism to actually achieve its stated goal. And the implications? Drastically higher costs for consumers in the US, Canada, and Mexico, with absolutely nothing to show for it.

I am a moron, and we all know it, I buy russia oil through Iran and ship it to Canada but supply Ukraine money for the war to fight russia, but I am a smart man said no one.

Well said, Mr Prime Minister! Chapeau!!!

Also Justin Trudeau didn’t think Donald Trump was smart he said he agreed with the whichever newspaper it was Washington Post I think that even though Donald Trump is a smart guy this was a dumb thing. I don’t think he really agreed with the part about Donald Trump being a smart guy. But he definitely agrees with this being a dumb thing. He just had to say thatto stroke Cheetos ego

I disagree with Trudeau on one thing he said, Donald is not a smart guy.

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 means to swallow Canada, he said so. I have never believed before, but this he will do. Or try. With help from Putin.

Stop exporting Canadian products to the usa immediately and flick the switch NOW. Stop the flow of our water to usa, close the dams. No oil clown said they don't need it, shut the valves. No wood to rebuild California ?

He said something very very important: protecting companies from predatory takeover.\n\nEurope, are you listening to this? What trump is doing is making way for us companies to buy cheap European companies. We must prevent this.

Resign like you said you would oh wait you won't??????

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

UK here. Great speech. Said it like it is. I truly hope that when, not if, our turn comes, we respond in a similar fashion. Beware Americans, if Trump carries on like this you may find your closest trading partner is Russia, when the rest of the world takes American goods off the shelf.

Well said pm

Canadian here. \nEveryone please listen,this man is a liar about the “F” drug please look up Sam Cooper and his reporting on it. CCP is funding the Liberal party as well some of our provincial party’s as well. Don’t believe everything said on the television. Do your own research and start with Sam Cooper. Vancouver is a major hub where this stuff is shipped in produced then exported. This man has lied in the past he’s lying now and will lie in the future. He’s a W E F prodigy.

I just feel the need to apologize to Canadians. What Trudeau said was correct - we've always enjoyed amicable relations between our two countries. Some of my best friends are Canadians. The Orange Man does not speak for us. 77 million people voted for him - roughly 1/5th of our country. Do not assume the Orange idiot speaks for all of us. Some of us just want to live peaceful lives of consequence.

He had to response to Donald Duck, sorry Donald Dump, men sorry again, Donald Dumb, what is happening with me, Donald Bump, why is this happening.... a yeah, Donald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head to be dumped. \n \nIt does not matter if some like Trudeau or not, as a country leader THIS was the only response to a bully neighbor, who wants to start a trade war. \nAnd as Trudeau said, there is no winner, we are polite, but we are Canadians and will not back down from a fight. \n\nThank you Mr. Trudeau. \nDonald Trump, the dumb duck, with a bump in his head will be dumped. \n\n <3 Canada., greetings from the Greek guy.

Well done well said thank you??

Well said Mr Trudeau.

Just one questin. Trudeau just said him an the president worked together an beliving he refurred to the USMCA. He said it made money an jobs an economy better. So he signed an agreement he didnt bring up an coulda kept rolling along like usual, but after signing it he said its been a good thing doesn't that mean he was way ahead an the new deal still left him ahead in the positive but just not as much? If so I'd like to hear him go line by line in defence of the accusations because something isnt adding up

Then close ur boarders to criminals bringing in fentanyl. And to the fake Americans who don’t support America go to Canada and live. And for the record u will all see how bad zelensky is he could have stoped the war by agreeing not to try to join nato. And can’t account for millions of dollars. And was warnd the meeting was just about the mineral deal because if we put troops in Ukraine Putin who is still very dangerous will see it as a act of war. And he said he will protect American intrust in Ukraine basically saying if Putin breaks a peace deal we will be there to help respond. But zelensky took the moment with the media to pressure trump into saying we will put troops there which could start ww3. And if u trust Canada over the US ur an idiot. This guy doesn’t care about his own country. Look at the First Nation people. And how migrants get more then the people who have been there for generations. And people and fentanyl is still coming in.

Yes and you only did this because he said he was going to put tariffs on you. You're a crooked person and your people need to vote you out.

Trump said early on that Canada needed to agree to be our 51st state or else. I’m sure Donnie is fuming right now.
