Black American here who stands with Canada and Mexico! frump is not a very intelligent man and the republicans and voters that stand with him are just as unintelligent.

Buy produced and made in canada and we will survive this together, we are strong and proud of our country, no one can destroy us unless we give them power over us. Thank you Mr prime Minister Trudeau, together we will survive this.

So, why is it that this guy makes it seem like they haven't been taken advantage of the U.S. since they have been able to! He is also lying about that northern border, too. Russians have been illegally crossing into the U.S. thru Canada for years. I know it as fact bcuz I've met Russian truckers who told me how they originally came to the U.S. via Canada! It's easier up there bcuz that border isn't as secure as the southern border. I guarantee you their statistics for fentynal crossing in via Canada is wrong. Those are just the statistics for the fentynal they caught, not the shit they haven't caught! Tariffs shouldn't have had to be the reason for Canada to do their job. They should have already been doing their job at that border. Trump had to threaten them in order for them to use drones, etc. at the border. They should have been doing that. This shows that they were already taking advantage of the weak ass government who just left office. Maybe he should just become the 51st state to make it all much simpler!

Gota love President Trudeau. Great man who cares for Canada and his people.

Well done, Canada! Stand up to the bully!

From the USA; I want to apologize to Canada. You should be proud to have such a strong leader such as Trudeau.

hats off to canada and trudeau

I want to move to Canada!

?? Stay strong! Resist! Fight back Canada! America stands with you! ????

1/2: Myself and the saner half of the US that read, understood, and voted against Proj 2025 understands why they need to levy retaliatory tariffs especially as a Michigander who's lived less than 4 hours from Canada all her life, who has family in Quebec and Ontario, and is a job-seeking policy professional and international trade nerd who now cannot in good faith seek a job in the federal government. We have been looking and still do look to Canada as a model quite a bit and love Canada and Canadians to pieces. We Michiganders especially in the central and eastern UP and Detroit and Ann Arbor area are friends, coworkers, and family of Canadians. Some are even dual citizens. It is sad that it's come to this. \n\n2/2: I still personally just can't wrap my head around how a trade deal Trump put together himself and called the best (the USMCA in question) is all of a sudden so bad. Logic doesn't work with these types of people... I really want **someone!!** to ask him/ admin officials about the USMCA **to their face** and see what they say because I am so upset by this nonsensical and corrupt administration.

Can someone intelligent please explain with evidence why we’re at a war with Canada? How does this make America great again?

This is propoganda, misleading and embarrasing. Canada started the Tariffs, USA just responded with a Reciprocal Tariff Act. Trudeau can kiss diplomacy goodbye, Russia, Russia, Russia. Does switzerland get called names for remaining neutral, they have the highest levels of happiness on the planet...

Mr Trudeau, thank you for your excellent clear and concise speech. You hit all the points. Thanks for standing up for Canada and the Free World. Please remember our Ukrainian friends...

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

Wow, that’s a very good polite speech of a leader. I’m Asian used to live in Ontario 10 years ago and I love Canadian people they are not racist. \nI so wish you all luck for your loving Country. \nGo go go Canada !!!! watching from Czech Republic ❤

As a Martian of Filipino descent, I stand with Canada. Nanjan si Madel eh. ?

Goodbye Canada what a a hole

Thought he spoke with strength and clarity. Good luck Canada. ??

To all you leftists in the comments. Go to Canada if you support them over the United States.

Canada, Mexico, Germany and other countries who are getting caught up in the orange turd of a president's mess. He's not my president and just so you know I've never voted for him. I'm so embarrassed to be an American right now... I promise 50% of U.S voters are idiots the other half of us understand economics, the importance of allies and we're generally nice/smart people. #trumpsucks

oh yes canada should be able to continue to screw the USA sorry were not the worlds b...h any more.

Thank you Prime Minister showing the American people how stupid and ignorant nearly half the country is. Americans want their country back vote the garbage out. I wouldn't hold my breath. A very sick and drug dependant half the country. Don't blame Mexico or Canada

You gotta be a special kind of a$$hole to piss off Canada

Hey Canada flip the light switch! Cut the electricity to the US. Right as the glitter ?starts talking this evening. Let that fool feel some consequences for his utter stupidity. Do it!!!!!!!

To Canada, I am an American who abhors Trump, Musk, Vance because they are the biggest danger to our Whole World.

As a black American who didn’t vote for this. Go crazy Canada.

Well done Canada , Trump is after your minerals

Ask the Canada Truckers how stand up this jerk is?

The number of countries around the world boycotting American products in support of Canada will really bite America. Canadians are done, we will not be bullied by our neighbours to the south, and free nations are watching. America has lost all previous respect it had on the world stage. America is not a decent and reliable friend, America can not be trusted to honour its agreement. We will fight back! Canad has never started a war of any kind, but we have never failed to fight back when attacked, and we have never lost a war!

From Germany: We stand with Canada. I hope Canada and Europe together can do enough against the madness of Trump and his buddys.

US economy is 10 times bigger than that of Canada so, Canada will collapse if they are not able to sell their goods and services to US markets.\nUS though may get a hit but will gain much when Canada will become the 51st state with Trudeau as it's Governor ?????✅

Go for it Canada, stand up against the Bully in chief, trump is a traitor who cares nothing about America nor its people. He is doing everything he can to destroy our relations with our allies.

No matter who pays the tariffs and who it hurts, the end result is that billions will be paid into the government coffers of both USA and Canada. Of course Trump & Musk want to use that to benefit billionaire oligarchs, but what will Canada do with the new income? Maybe much could go to Ukraine to compensate US disgusting withdrawal of support??

Cut off the power Mr Handsome. I stand with Canada ??????

This man truly doesn't do a thing but lie and create turmoil through his disinformation . Someone boot his pathetic lying ass out for government already wake up Canada u voted in a dictator

As an European I'm standing behind Canada and Mexico. America has voted a convicted criminal into the WH who always lies and only thinks about what is good for him. This is on the MAGA cult and those who didn't vote. Your so called leader is the biggest terrorist from within

It’s because Canada hasn’t stopped allowing fentanyl

GREAT CANADA, STAY STRONG.

This Canada beef comes out of nowhere like bruh

I want to move to Canada

Bravo Canada - as an American I stand against all bullies and my president is not a leader but he is a bully. I have no respect for him or anyone in his administration. He is a puppet of the Russian Federation because he is hostage to V. Putin. My supposed leader is a coward. He instead of helping a country at war with a vicious enemy and helping that country he betrays them and cuts aid and forgets the very foundation of this country that fought a vicious enemy to be free and independent. Fight for all you are worth Canada. Most people in the United States Stand With You - those who don't are supporters of a corrupt criminal posing as president.

Canada: Why wait 21 days with the last tariffs?!?!? You are too damn soft. For all the harm Trump has put on the Canadians, You are too soft. \nBtw: A dusin eggs in Denmark is $2,5 and $4 in Greenland (and Greenland doesn’t have one living soul of chickens)?

As a Canadian who lives in (largely French-speaking) Quebec, I don't know if our gov't even NEEDS to tariff American consumer goods, the people here are already boycotting US goods and companies en masse. EVERYBODY is doing it - and the pace isn't going to recede anytime soon. Even after the Orange Turd is long gone, trust me, Canadians will remember this! The American state has proven it cannot be trusted. They have unilaterally broken the trade agreement (negotiated by the previous Donald J Chump administration) on the flimsiest of reasons, the 00.2 % of fentanyl that flows over the border into the US from Canada. That deal now obviously not worth the paper it was signed on.

EUROPE - EUROPE - EUROPE... !! Welcome Canada !!

Ouch. OH Canada!! How is it possible to piss of nice people, like the Canadians.

Why is the u.s. taking advantage of Canada’s kindness..Canadians are kindhearted people..the world stand with them ??.

FROM BRITAIN WE STAND WITH CANADA , I WILL NOW SIT BACK AND ENJOY WATCHING AS THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS LODE THEIR JOBS THEIR FARMS THEIR MEDICADE THEIR SOCAIL SECURITY THEIR SNAP BENEFITS THHEIR FOOD STAMPS LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Good speech but it is better to address the rightful concerns expressed by Trump and his Commerce Secretary, in an indoor meeting and adjust Canada’s policies where it can be done easily in partnership with U.S. Diplomacy and honesty is needed, not posturing! \n\nTrump is here to stay for 4 years with full powers and working with him after initial show off of resistance is the key to reduce pain for both sides.

Don't get sucked in by this piece of garbage. He's excited to kill Canadas economy and finish implementing the Great Reset. You will own nothing and be happy. \nHe talks about fertilizer while he heavily restricts fertilizer in Canada. Ugh.... \n \nYou can't hate Trudeau enough.

From Canada, Trudeau is just a looser. He destroyed our country. Never listen to his crap ?.
