His only mistake was not to talk to his Canadian in the same way about the external diplomatic journey. Most Canadians voted him out because most Canadians have little to no idea how it is arround the globe, missing an overall perspective in their critic to Trudeau. Let me tell you that a lot of people changed their minds looking at his reaction to external threath posed by newly elect Trump. I allways knew Trump was bad news but never did I see a country turn it's administrative logistic into a pure representation of the cult Donald made into place. I hope my fellow friendly american get loud enought to be herd from their respective administrative leaders in your political system. Be critical, this is not what the USA is sopposed to be about.

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

This is what you have done to Canada Mr Trudeau

I hope you go to jail Trudeau. You are the worst kind of dictator, a weak coward. Step down. Go dress up and be racist. You screwed all Canadians and harmed everyone waaaay before these tariffs came into effect.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! You speak truth to power... How in the hell did America go so LOW... I didn't vote for the American Dictator!!!

I thought Canadian people hated Trudeau ?

all this has done is elevate justin trudeau to a world class leader thats deeply respected in the eyes of canadians ??

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Agree with everything- thank you Prime Minister Trudeau. ❤️??\nOne thing - Can we please call the appointed Fentanyl person anything else? “Tzar” has an awfully Russian connotation.

Trudeau sucks, but Trump is on a whole other level of ineptitude and stupidity.

Trudeau has balls.

American here. I am with Canada. A real leader! Thank you Trudeau. I voted No and will continue to protest the Trump administration.

Trudeau is such a bum. I don’t necessarily agree with this trade war but I’m also not against an America first approach.

Not a fan of Trudeau but his in the right here Trump administration is out feeding disinformation about Canada South Africa and who knows who’s next

What is the purpose of showing PM Trudeau in his press conference if we can't hear him? These CNN commentators are paraphrasing endlessly what he said, while cutting off his voice. Are we so dumb that we have to be served a rehash while being deprived of the real thing? \n Maybe CNN is trying to explain things to MAGA voters; why the effort? They would'nt watch CNN anyway!

All of these comments praising Trudeau have the memory of a goldfish. This guy praises Chinas communist leadership and also spoke highly of Fidel Castro. Let’s not forget the pandemic. Of course the tariffs might hurt in the short term but you fools can’t see the long game. Bring back more jobs to America and import less. Tariffs will allow for tax cuts.

Anti-Americanism is right. Im glad Trudeau stepped up so quickly. Well done. From the rest of the world (specifically the UK)? We'll be doing the same. \nThis is your leaders fault, not the peoples, and I feel bad for you all. \nThose 3,800 down voters? You deserve this. For some odd reason, you arent getting the memo.

Well said Mr. Trudeau .

Trudeau, you damaged Canada and brought it to where it is right now you have no right to speak on anything and tell about what other people have done. Take accountability for yourself and you have failed the Canadian people. I don’t know why we have a bunch of Canadians over here, sucking you off like they don’t remember what you’ve done. Is everyone on this page who is a Canadian suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Do you not remember what this guy has done to our country with immigration and taxing us with the carbon tax out of the Wazzu. Give your head a shake you sleepy Canadians. Canadians act too weak and that’s why we’re treated this way.

Trudeau finally goes out and buys a backbone on his exit...

Trudeau is as pissed as i am.

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

Why does it sound like Trudeau Is totally dumbing down his vocabulary for donald?????

Common Trudeau W

Justin Trudeau’s diction makes Treasonous Trump sound like a drunk parrot compared to him.

Trudeau is stupid, he doesnot know what Trump wants. Trump want manufacture moves to United States from Canada and Mexico.

Maybe Trudeau and the Canadian people should fund Ukraine.

Trudeau, my brother, My words cannot begin to express to you or your people just how genuinely sorry I am for my country's utterly repulsive and inexcusable behavior throughout the last month and a half and for the downright cruel, hostile treatment you've suffered at the hands of the most incompetent, greedy, poorly educated, narcissistic, racist, sexist, xenophobic buffoon to ever preside over the United States. Not only is Donald Trump an overly privileged, pathetic, whiney crybaby who literally folds his arms, stomps his feet, and launches an all out temper tantrum whenever he doesn't get his way or when someone else has the TV remote, he is a dangerously delusional, high stakes risk taker who wouldn't think twice about using his own mother or child as a human body shield if he thought his life were in danger. There is absolutely no value, principle, moral or ethic he wouldn't betray without hesitation if he suspects there is anything at all to be gained - you know, the type of guy who would poison the entire neighborhood in order to hoard all the complimentary tampons and lip gloss samples from his neighbors' mail boxes just to ensure that he got first dibs on everything before anyone else. Incidentally, he is also the same type of guy who pockets all the flavored mini coffee creamers from the gas station and all the paper bed sheets and Qtips from the doctor's office. I wouldn't put it past him to steal the waitresses' tips off tabletops on his way out the door upon leaving McDonald's. In fact, I would bet everything that he steals the donation jars for Jerry's Kids at the local supermarket. I mean, its already a given that he is likely the guy who filed a lawsuit a few summers back against a sweet, innocent littls FOUR year old boy for having a lemonade stand on property not zoned for commercial use. If it wasn't Trump then I'm sure it's only because he was too busy ordering the National Guard to power hose and pepper spray the 30 or so elderly nuns who had been distributing bottled water to folks demonstrating in support of Black Lives Matter on the hottest day of the year. Satisfied in his victorious battle against the nuns - 9 of whom had been hospitalized for critical injuries including the 92 year old Mother Superior who suffered massive brain bleed, swelling and concussion due to the excessive force of the power hose and an 87 year old nun who lost permanent sight in one eye due to the pepper spray - Trump had the nerve to pose for a publicity shot in front of the church while holding a Bible - UPSIDE DOWN - and scrunching and contorting his face into that hideous trademark scowl he does ever so naturally. Yep. This is the man my fellow Americans chose to represent our nation as President - a man who beats up 90 year old nuns and imposes 25% tax hikes to our ONLY FRIEND in the entire world simply for refusing to accept his invitation for statehood. I mean, come on, Trudeau, is that really asking too much of you? Was it really worth bruising Donny's fragile little ego and sending him into a fit of rage? (Seriously, though, I suspect he really does feel as though you are in the wrong for refusing to humor his delusions and thus embarrassing him in front of all his Russian dictator and Ku Klux Klan buddies.)\nOnce again, I do humbly apologize and I promise I will support whatever actions you choose to take and I will help you in any way you deem is best. \nMuch love and peace always, \nMs. S. Delois Jackson

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

I believe you, Mr. TRUDEAU. We Americans who DO NOT SUPPORT our Administration's policies are crying and angry to see our country falling apart and the citizens who need the most help, are concerned about our welfare. ???? God help us all.

Canadian says that President Trump should punish Trudeau for running his mouth.

Sounds to me like Trudeau's scared of this trade war it's almost as if he didn't listen to anything Trump said. Make Canada America's 51st state it basically already is.

In Canada Trudeau has hurt us more with tax increases in last 5 years than Trumps tarrifs. Young people have next to zero chance to afford to buy a house. This is Trudeau's fault not Trumps!

And to Justin Trudeau, speak to your own people. Maybe you need to hear what they feel. Trump is far more popular in America than you are in Canada.

Governor Trudeau, Canada has been imposing Tariffs to the US for years, you are a joke?

First of all, Justin Trudeau is the biggest liar there was and is.\n\nIf you don’t like the way, America is doing go to China asshole. Have China come in and tell you how to wipe your asses.\n\nAll the America is asking you to do is close up the borderand stop the fentanyl from coming over the border? I guess that it’s just too damn much to ask huh? You must be making some damn good money on the fentanyl.

I fell in love with Justin Trudeau

Tell orange ? head, small fingers Mr. Trudeau ? loud and clear ?

The fact Trump keeps referring to Trudeau as Governor already shows Trumps disregard for Canada…imagine call Trump Governor Trump???!!!

Prime Minister Trudeau has always been a reliable source for truth, but now that he has referred to President Trump as “smart,” I don’t know…

Mr Trudeau is extraordinarily soft, soft as feathers, it really amazes me that Canada and Mexico rush the all month of Jan and Feb to captures felons to avoid tariffs, very poor speech. He claims that he is doing it to protect the people from Canada the real question is why you didn’t do it before.\nClaudia Sheinbaum also rushing to capture the bad guys, when clearly Trump is offering help to capture the corrupt politicians and cartel lords but No, instead she delivers 29 guys that were already captured and been in jail for years… What it’s this ? It’s like ordering a Ribeye steak and getting a pizza. Come on !!

Trump extended his rudeness to all Canadians, like the country and citizens was no more than a backwater US state. Trudeau coulda referred to Trump as Donald Duck ‘da f*ck’ and it’s still more than a polite gesture in my book ?

Trudeau is an example of someone who is willing to say the truth about this U.S. renegade executive office passing policies that hurt both Canadian and U.S. economy. \n Republicans who are spineless are not willing to do this. Thank you, Trudeau

I haven't enjoyed much of Trudeau's office, but this he owns. He really laid it down here. It made me proud to be Canadian. He absolutely, kicked ass and I hope he just hammers Trump. Trudeau's level of forthrightness and honesty in this situation is (I think) exactly why people voted for him. It makes me feel like he's going to kick Trump's ass.

It took 9 years and on his way out, but Trudeau finally united Canadians. Not happy about tariffs but here we are. Elbows up eh ya hosers

Thank you PM Trudeau! Keeping it real!????

As an American, I just want my fellow Americans to know that even Canadians don’t want Justin Trudeau. The guy’s like a malfunctioning AI chatbot—spitting out pre-programmed nonsense nobody asked for while the crowd collectively checks their watches. He’s the political version of a participation trophy: loud, useless, and only still around because no one’s taken out the trash yet. Watching him talk smack to cameras is like watching a mime in a hurricane—pointless, painful, and embarrassing for everyone involved.

Poor lil pretty boy resigned. This is all from a dude who has already resigned. Bye bye Trudeau ??

Justin Trudeau is a true leader. I am with you, Canada.

As a Canadian, \n\nTrudeau is stepping down because he is hated by the majority of this country. He has suspended parliament for his parties own special interest, making it it impossible to properly respond to anything. \n\nTrudeau does not speak for Canada. He’s the reason we’re in this mess. You Americans do not want Trudeau as your president he has ruined this country.
