i hope you can stand the eventuality and significant economic and interpersonal effect this will promote. i agree principally with none of this, its unnecessary and extremist in leaning. but i can stand it and saw this ahead of time as eventual. my question is can you stand these economic effects . did they ask you on the campaign trail? well . i also suspect as an independent that we will be both affected and tested. Consider those in power in government and big business who see to these situations becoming realities for American citizens , remember they live in mansions and have generational wealth. they can lose billions and withstand it. They will not now or ever feel the effects of their poorly thought through actions. we will. we will have to. I'll never ask anyone to do something i wont.i suspect our leading majority which i came from formerly up until this point wont balance this situation. keep that in mind.

Trump will be remembered as the biggest idiot ever. A joke in the making.

Trump isn't dumb. While he creates chaos and outrage, you are getting robbed every day so badly you will foreget that Canada ever existed.

Now Trudeau should know that Trump breaks every agreement that he ever have done

Now i aint the smartest apple falling from the tree but aint nobway Donald doing all this to chase a ghost, nobody will ever be able to get rid of a drug produced by an unknown, this is a distraction to cover up something else

I hate America trump is firing everyone. Food prices are up higher than ever. What's next

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

Trump will go down as the most disgusting, unamerican president the U.S. has ever had.

Trump is the dumbest one ever! ???

MR. PRESIDENT TRADEAU, trump IS NOT ANYONE'S FRIEND!\nTrump IS A DAMN TRAITOR, Putin's little orange lap pig pet and under no circumstances should he EVER be trusted!

Thos is a true leader who says it as it is and tells trump and all Americans exactly how it is. Dummy donald is the stupidest most useless moronic leader America has ever had. Wake up America.

Man, nobody's afraid of that.Soy boy, French Frank Castro one of the weakest, so-called men.I've ever seen in my life.Bad guy couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag????

Didn't this guy quit? I can't remember the last thing I ever bought from Canada.

Trump the best president ever ❤❤❤❤

Little Trump is not a president nor is he a businessman. He’s a scared little rat a draft dodger and think America if he was afraid to fight in the war then what makes us think that he would protect us now he’s a scared rat. He’s afraid of his own shadow. The family kids and the grandchildren are the ones that are going to feel the damage he will do to this country in four years. I feel so sorry for our men and women in the military now and our veterans are taking a pounding very sad . He’s only doing it to benefit for his own greed. Very sad human being. He’s miserable he’s depressed. You can see it in his face. He was a piece of shit to the American people before he ever even thought of being a president he owes contractors millions of dollars through his life no wonder he has a bull’s-eye on his back and they say he can’t sleep at night well, I wonder why he fucked the American people and he will keep fucking American people nobody will stop him He will keep fucking us until he’s done. And after all that damage that he will do to this country, in the four years it will be so damaged. It will never heal.

I live in Vancouver and it has the largest open air drug market in North America. I can't recall Trudeau ever speaking about the Fentanyl pandemic so frequently. I worked with NPO's when they declared a public health emergency...hundreds were dying a month, and it seemed at the time that there was so little dialogue due to fear of public backlash for taking a stance on this issue.\n\nI'm not trying to get on a soap box here...but I'm just shocked. I could have given Trudeau a 5 minute drive through main and hastings in my 1998 RAV4 to show him how bad it is, and was...I wonder if he would have opened up this much?

How the heck did this guy ever became president!

Canadians will not back down..ever. We love our country too much!! Please know Americans that we still love you. Our only hatred is for the person taking over your country and White House. This is our fight for you too. ❤??????

Also awfully funny how y'all were perfectly ignorant when Joe Biden was increasing the tariffs against everywhere else when Donald Trump left the last time he didn't remove them he added on to them and increased them and y'all didn't say anything about it then. You'll act like this is the first time anybody's ever heard of tariffs and yet Canada already had it against us we already had it against them just like every other country. Tariffs are just a fancy government word for interest and as long as those interests are aligned and in favor for Democrats tariffs are okay but when they're not all of a sudden they're not okay again.

Don’t ever say HI to a Canadians they not are polite not even try saying hi to a Canadian on the street they look at you act like your an aliens

Dude the president of the USA did more that you could ever do for your own country !! \nAt least this will bring back industries in Canada !!! \n\nAnd tarrif it's absolutely not inflation.... increasing prices, yes, but once !!!\n It's not like printing money out of nothing ???

Thank god Trudeau.\nWe can no longer trust the US.\nnever would I thought a US president would side with Russia.\nThere's a dictator in Russia and a dickhead in the Whitehouse.\nTrade with Europe.\nI hope Ukraine don't sell out there country to a brother of putihitler.\nEurope need uk to rejoin EU\nEU now need more than ever a European army including Ukraine.\nWell done Trudeau

As your average American citizen, I have no reason to give a fuck about Canada because I do not make enough money nor will I probably ever make enough money to want to go to a country that doesn’t allow their own citizens the right to own guns, not a single thing that man pleaded for and sympathy made any sense as the average American, who works his ass off I could give a fuck a less about Canada as a country just like every other country there’s no point of giving a fuck about them I’m never gonna be able to go to them and anyway, even if I did go to them, you get robbed by some piece of shit because a lot of them are Third World countries and you can’t even defend yourself. Absolute fucking jokes

We love Americans, don't ever forget that. Prime Minister Trudeau made a superb speech. Unbelievable what is happening. We all need to hang in there and go on this crazy fiasco together. so sad.

What kind of leadership? The leadership of a certain people. “No one has ever lost money betting on the stupidity…etc..etc…”

Donald Trumps only success EVER was playing a TV boss on the Apprentice. He literally claimed bankruptcy in all his personal businesses.\nWhat could go wrong? Somehow 70 million feeble minded Americans fell for this con-man.

TRUMP IS AN ARROGANT APPRENTICE. HE IS A SHOW MAN! A VERY BAD PERSON. THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER!!!! BRAVO TRUDEAU!!!

I have been a pro-America citizen for almost 79 years, but our administration is dead wrong. Canada is the best neighbor we could possibly have, and we have slapped them in the face. This administration loves authoritarian leaders and dismisses the interests of our long-time friends and allies. Why would we ever believe our president when he promises to make life better for us. He does not care for any of us, unless we are one of the few with money and/or power.

For one time ever I agree with Trudeau?

Bro, if you get Canada to be mad at you, the best neighbours anyone could ever ask for, you know you've fukked up.\nAlso, Canada come join us the European Union, we're waiting for you with open arms, we're true to our word unlike that Russian puppet in the White House.

Oh no!!!! Canada is going to tariff us. What ever shall we do. FAFO dipshit.

For the first time I actually respect a speech by Trudeau. I have not supported him in anything ever. Except for this. I actually feel proud.

This is about USA jobs that free trade has moved overseas and the middle class restoration. Regan did the same thing and added tariffs on jap motorcycles and quotas on JAP CARS saving Detroit car company’s and the steel industry and saving the rust belt..... Than wall st shipped the jobs to communist china and south vetnamn putting the USA’s national security at risk…no one will ever go after wall st gamblers they are a protected class.

Wait..am I actually agreeing with Trudeau first time ever!

34,000k is more views on CNN than I have ever seen. People are finally sitting up and listening.

Real American patriots would work to build a better future. They wouldn't align themselves with they autocrats, oligarchs and dictators. And they would never vote for a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist. They would never vote for a man who was substantially supported by a Russian influence operation to win his first term. And they would not support, let alone re-elect, a person who tried to subvert an election and incite a mob to attack a peaceful transition of power.\n\nTrudeau speaks truth. But the craven, uneducated masses and bigots of MAGA, along with the republicans who fear them, will never, ever listen to it. They're beyond redemption.

It took Trump in power to unite all of Canada... Now we are stronger then ever. Good luck my fellow Americans, stay strong as we Canadians are with you ✊️???? ❤️

Not only has Trump screwed the American people, so has Congress. What happened to the checks and balances? What happened to integrity? The current U.S. leadership is opening up their arms to Communism and turning their back on Democracy. Is this ever going to end?

I stand with Canada ?? you have my support do what ever you need to do to America you should cut all power to the USA and do what needs to be done

Canada—I hope you find a way to strengthen your ties to other world democracies and keep yourselves safe from this crumbling world order. I hope you come out stronger than ever, America be damned. \n—A Despondent And Grieving American

The credibility of the US has been in the toilet ever since US populace in their infinite wisdom decided to elect this moron again.

lol at him calling Trump smart hahahaha. He is the most stupid person to ever hold any power. He wouldn’t last 30 mins at a McDonald’s.

Trump is NOT a smart man, he is the dumbest person to ever occupy the White House and he is destroying our country and all relationships with our allies. He is a traitor and a fool and what Trudeau is doing is the correct response to a rabid dog biting its friends.

Trump is a sick person. Worst US President EVER. With his politics (also Russian friendly), he will let the USA fall into Nirvana. Shame on you Trump!!!!

Oh no what will we ever do without Canadian maple syrup ? They need the US way more than the US needs them.

All those who are transporters and they still don’t see anything wrong with what’s happening I’m going to pray for you and your delusional state because this does not have anything to do Republican or democrat. This has to do with the rich middle class in the poor two you guys understand that he does not give a damn about you. He only wanted to vote. You’re going to understand when things start happening in your life in your world and you’re begging for help and you realize that this person sees you in need of help and they won’t help you Then you’re gonna realize he used you but until your world comes crumbling crashing down you’re not gonna understand so sit back enjoy this ride and watch your life. Crumble everything you work for will be gone. All your hopes and dreams will be gone after his presidency is over after this. You know how long it’s gonna take for us to come back from this hell we might even be rule by Russia everybody ready for that I don’t think so. They’ll be no democracy in this country no longer you will do what is told of you or you will suffer consequences they will be fatal so wake up get a grip on what is happening in reality right now you wanna look at him like he’s God he’s king. I don’t see him as a present. I see him as a fucking problem. He thinks he’s solving problems. He is creating chaos and more problems. When this is over we’re not even gonna be able to fix this shit it’s gonna take decades hell these people may not even wanna do business with us ever again we gonna be a third world country And everybody else around us gonna be thriving.?

We could never buy from you ever and not feel ? ???

Honestly I don't know why people hate on prime minister Trudeau I think he did an amazing job during a time when nobody could predict what was happening during covid and I am glad he is speaking out because in my opinion Trump has lost his mind I am not joking I think he either has dementia or dementia? and he has been making fun of Canada ever since he got elected again and what is wrong with Americans that they re-elected this person that made their country a laughingstock honestly it makes no sense to me❤ and from him saying he's going to make Canada a state of his we are bigger than your whole f**** country you stupid bastard? sorry but he makes me so angry and yes I am a proud Canadian❤

Who would ever have thought this could happen?

Trudeau ruined Canada, what exactly does he have to say that should ever be taken at face value?
