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 ?.

What exactly does it take to move to Canada? Just wow!

Stand up Canada and face the beast.\n????? BRAVO CANADA\nGreetings from Portugal

I am an American. I want the world to know that Trump doesn't speak for all of us. I am ashamed that stupidity won the last election. I apologize to Canada, Mexico, and the free world for Trump. Resist, Stay Calm and Carry On. American will return

I'm with Canada ? . This PM speaks the truth on every level .

Give discounts to Americans Vacationing in Canada!

perhaps Canada could extend its education system to the USA, and avoid another trump type meathead being elected by confused voters who are easily fooled by a bad actor/ conman.

Good Canada at last

God bless Canada. Strong speech. This is what we need in Europe. From Vilnius, Lithuania.

From the future Republic of Deseret (currently Utah). I stand with Canada.

We will get through this dark time together , USA ,Canada, Europe and Aus

As a South African, I want to say that this trade war, as well as the hostile approach of Trump towards Canada, is devastating. If one were not experiencing it directly, it would be almost impossible to believe. This is such a remarkable speech that it will go down in history as one of the truly great speeches in times of crisis. It is entirely correct to address the American and Canadian peoples directly, as the Prime Minister has done. They are both clear victims of this madness, Americans misled, and Canadians the target, of this senseless trade war. If one reads History, there is another dimension to this, and I hate to say it. Canadians have to prepare themselves for worse. These types of antics by the aggressor usually involve, finger pointing, contrived border incidents, plausibly deniable incursions and other actions, by the aggressor, which one can find if the preludes to the WW1 and WW2 are studied. I am not sure if you have porcupines in Canada, but you need to rapidly become one.

Trump is a moron and is destroying America. As long as he’s in office America is doomed. Lucky ass Canada with a leader that gives a shit.\n\nUnfortunately Trudeau is dropping facts, facts hold no space in Trump or his supporters brains.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. Europe can buy your gas and oil instead of USA.

I've worked since the age of 12 years, now I see my retirement disappearing and live in daily fear of being homeless. I only have my voice to fight back and I support Canada.

Make that Make Sense! Standing with our ally. Canada is Standing on Business!

I'm a Detroiter, I live right across the river from Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This is going to kill the U.S. Auto Industry! I stand with CANADA on this one ??

Trudeau destroyed Canada with carbon taxes and bad liberal policies. Trudeau is a spoiled rich brat dictator. \nNow he is using trump as a smoke screen.

Very professional ? \nNo gutter language, no tantrum, no name calling, or disrespecting anyone, unlike the baby in the White House.\nJT got the message across in a very clear manner. \nThank you JT for being a good ambassador for Canada ??

Canada is all blow and no go. Only heard blah blah blah.

It's time for Canada to step up and take the place they are capable of, lead the way in the Americas along side Mexico and stop living in the shadows of the USA.

Canada needs the United States more than we need the Canadians. They have a 200 billion trade deficit with the US and just about everything we get from Canada, we can produce right here in our country. Energy, lumber, produce etc.\nThere might be a little discomfort in the beginning but a year from now America will be better off.

Indigenous American here, we stand with Canada, Mexico, the UK and Europe! Not russia.

Bad for Canada. Bad for America. Bad for the world. The question is whether the majority of MAGAs abandon Trump after a recession begins because of Trump's policies. I'm not sure. Maybe? For sure, they'll try to blame Biden. And some just want Trump to fight the culture war and are willing to accept the consequences of an economic downturn so long as trans people are restricted on the bathroom they can use. Some are rich enough that they wouldn't be affected by a recession. As if world events weren't already volatile enough.

Danke Canada ❤

Putin's puppets have marching orders to divide our country, trash our economy, destroy our security, remove us from NATO to eliminate allied relationships. Then Donald can just hand over Ukraine to a murderous thug named Putin. Pretty much on track, I'd say. They have been bought and sold their souls to the devil.\n\nI support Canada and hope they continue to stand up to the bullies. It breaks my heart that enough people voted for an adjudicated rapist, 34x convicted felon, conman, pathological liar, malignant narcissist grifter who is now calling the shots. He is Putin's puppet... pure and simple, Donald's a traitor!

?I am confused I thought he stepped down for embarrassing Canada. He is weak and can not run a country especially Canada—?complete idiot

Canada is the second powerful next to russia. Never treat them trump they can stand by itself

Im going to visit Canada more often than I already do. \n????

I didn't vote for Felon Trump. He is an idiot and an embarrassment!\nI love my Canadian friends and used to live in Canada. \nWell spoken by Justin Trudeau!

This Mexican American stands with our President TRUMP! USA…USA….\nWe don’t need Canada, CNN is also FAKE NEWS!?

United States did not start this trade war. Trump and the Republican Party did and I’m so sorry Canada because you don’t treat a friend and neighbor like that !

Wow, articulate strong talk, no lies, no propaganda, no bluster, none of the total and complete unrelenting bullshit we have endure on a daily basis from the sociopathic delusional asshole that currently occupies the White House. It should be no surprise that our leadership chooses to blame all of our problems on someone else, because that's exactly what they do every day. We have a drug problem, it's because of Canada and Mexico. We have an immigration problem, likewise Mexico and Canada. We have a deficit problem, that's because of the EU and NATO. Our problem is our government, specifically Republicans who won't accept the simple truth: you want to solve problems you have be disciplined and smart. You have to spend money to fix your problems instead of blaming some else and trying to get them to pay for it. You pay to solve your problems instead of giving huge tax cuts to people who don't need them. You stop lying to your people. You want to change the trade imbalance? Build products that other countries want at a price that makes sense. The EU has no laws that prevent American car manufacturers from selling their cars in Europe. American car companies make shitty cars. They make cars that are too big, that don't make sense for European where streets can be very small and gas is very expensive. The US manufacturers don't make a single small car in thos country that can compete with European cars. US agricultural products are laced with poisonous chemicals that are outlawed in the EU because they kill people. Our governmeent doesn't give a shit about that because to grow healthy food means you have to cut profits, almighty dollars, instead of grow things that the rest of the world will accept. We have an idiot for president who thinks he knows more than anyone else and an idiot party that won't tell him the truth. This is going to cost us big time. We are going into recession, probably a long one because we don't have real leaders and the president on his best day is nothing more than a reality TV personality, and not a very entertaining one at that.

Canada, will you accept us if we want to become citizens of your company???

Greetings from Germany. That was a great speech. I hope that Canada people will continue to stick together across Europe.You are a great people.

I am a conservative Canadian. I should admit this was the BEST speech I ever heard from Trudeau ! We are all together in this war ! God bless Canada ??❤️

Canada must join European Union :D

A American Marine Corp Veteran stands with you Canada. Stay strong. What Maga doesn't realize is there are many 3rd party voters who are going to start working on doing the things that need to be done to throw the road blocks because he has definitely started down the road road to dictatorship.

We ❤love You Canada, and we respect you. Do what you need to do because we are not dealing here in USA with normalities. The 2025 Government is not qualified to their positions,but they are there to help the billionaires, while we the people starve. WE STAND WITH CANADA ?? TODAY AND TOMORROW ❤
