Trudeau is a great man, leader

Man, Trump American sucks.

The Man across the boarder will cripple his Country within a year....btw...thats the USA.

I'm from NZ and I don't give 2 Fs about any of this!but it's funny watching all these morons going at each other ???? I will say one thing tho zelenskyy your the man real war president!

Absolutely brilliant. Governments of the world take note. This is how a nation should be managed. How much extra parliament and politicians do we need when this 1 man and his team can achieve such an honest an genuine connection to his people it puts all others to shame.

How I wish Justin Trudeau continue as the Canadian prime minister good man and good response to that idiot called Donald Trump.

Good man. The US population should listen carefully. And then Look at the lying pancake faces in the WH that ruin them!

Americans obviously didn’t understand what tariffs are, didn’t get that it’s an import tax which they must pay on goods and products they buy from Canada, a tax which tRump collects from Americans and uses to pay for tax-cuts for the richest citizens. But one more thing Americans don’t get is that before this fateful day an unofficial boycott against ALL US goods has been growing since tRump insulted Canada’s Prime Minister and threatened Canada’s sovereignty—whereas Canada’s official countervails ( which only kicked-in today )only target certain US goods, not ALL of them like ordinary Canadians are doing in growing numbers right now—in fact, the imposition of tRump’s tariffs today has only made the unofficial boycott bigger and more organized. It’s heartening that so many nations have solicited Canada, offering alternative sources for common US exports to Canada —citrus fruits, pharmaceuticals, and other manufactures, to name a few.\n\nI don’t think Canadians even realize how big this unofficial boycott is getting because it’s growing so fast. I’ve never seen a surge in Canadian patriotism like this. Never in my seven decades —which includes the two Referenda on Quebec separation. And there’s a federal election approaching when all partisans will be one-upping each other in the patriotism department—which manifests in more boycotts of US goods and hospitality services.\n\n Americans should know that the unofficial boycott is more harmful to US exporters than the official targeted countervails because it features immediate and longterm diminishment of Canadian purchases of US goods—all retailers know it’s very hard to recover lost customers once they’ve found alternatives (and the added patriotic effect only makes it worse). Included is diminishment of Canadian visits to the USA. Indeed, the internet is replete with testimonies of Canadian”snow birds” not only forgoing their annual sojourn in the Florida or Arizona sunshine but also of selling their properties there with the parting shot, “I will never vacation in the US again!” Already Mexico has seen its visits from Canadians (who have had a modest presence in Mexico for years) surge to unprecedented levels. I know from much-welcomed temp Mexican construction workers in BC (where I live) that they view Canadians completely differently from our mutual US neighbours—and now that affection is growing like never before. \n\nI’m continually amazed at how uninformed Americans are about tariffs—and misinformed by tRump and his goofy, preposterous, and ridiculous fantasy of world-domination. When tRump uses the lame excuse to implement emergency powers —that Canada is “allowing” (as Vance puts it) fentanyl to “pour into the USA”—it’s tantamount to saying Ukraine started the war with Russia. The man is a tendentious liar and narcissistic megalomaniac. \n\nI have faith that the great nation of the USA will reject tRump’s crazy policies—we all just have to hang on and let the needless suffering for both our nations (and the world with regard strategic alliances) play out until he either relents, is swamped in legal repercussions, is impeached, or otherwise removed from office!\n\nGood luck my American and Ukrainian friends!

The Orange man and his sidekick are a menace and great danger to the world

This man does not speak for my family or my community and does not speak for Canada. He's a criminal and ruined my country. Save Canada.

trump is going crazy, no real man or business would do that.

Trump is not a smart man. And he’s on the side of Putin, North Korea and China.\nHe’s pure evil

Good speech except... Donald? A smart man? Please. He's dumb as a rock!!!

Best Man!!!!! Thank you!!!!

So now this girly man grew a pair????? It’s a bit too late buddy. This was not your DESTINY ????

I am an American and I kindly as all world leader to stay on Trump's neck!!! Dont let up! Keep your foot on that man's neck till we can get him out of office. We citizens who didnt vote for this will pay the price. Its a burden that will hit us all... but its our burden to carry now. Dont let up. We dont want this either. We love our allies. And the best thing you can do for us, is fight back. We remain neighbors, friends and allies. Do what you must Canada. We understand and we are sorry.\n\nI, an American, stand with the Ukraine and Canada ?? ??

You are a very intelligent man. Tell that orange guy like it is!! He is stupid! We will suffer here! Don’t let him humiliate you, Mexico china like he does

Hard to believe what a nasty man is leading the USA now. Shame on him.

Thank you for a great strong response to the Felon of the US (FOTUS ). I am American and ashamed of this irresponsible irrational man. We love Canada, have relatives there and we are planning a summer trip to our good neighbor and trust me we will buy Canadian when we are there.

The Man who would be King.

One man did this, lying Trump

This man is a dictator himself by what we went through with gender identity they still enforce there people with this bogus B.S.

America goes into a trade war with their most reliable ally before the new GTA game, damn man!

Thank sir. Smart man, sorry for us american, bc of a dumb. Drump

canada i am so sorry for what the usa has done. trump is an angry demented old man. he bullies everyone including americans in office. he has the money of the drug addict elon behind him so that he can legally go after everyone. and god knows what trump owes putin. dont trust trump. i am thankful that leaders all over the world are standing up to trump, even if few american leaders can / will.

Wow a leader who doesn't ramble, hurl insults, call people names like a 4 year old child, fear monger or lies in every sentence! unlike our incompetent orange draft dodger. Trump is trying to be a strong man however he is so dim-witted he doesn't realize what he's doing to American families in creating chaos and instability in the world. The world who now rightfully is disgusted with America or more precisely Trump. prices are already skyrocketing and programs that have helped our families are being stripped away while Trump and his billionaire buddies are giving themselves the biggest tax break in history. Objectively he and his minions are enemies of the American family

i stand with Canada and Ukraine. TO my fellow Americans... you have done this to us by electing a corrupt, criminal communist and unhinged man as president of our nation. You have destroyed us with this maggot infested political party that will only bring on WW3 and the lost respect of every nation on earth. I am ashamed to be an American.

Good man

Never get a boy to do a man's job especially a narcissistic drama queen like Trudeau...loves WEF and Soros globalist plan for 4th Reich apparently ! More money to Zelensky who can't account for $69 billion dollars from America ? Zelensky's wife spends 10's of millions on shopping spree buys a $6.4 million dollar Bugatti and a $1.2 million dollar necklace while begging for money ? NUTS

The US is making lots of enemies in many places at the same time. They are being true to their essence. EU doesnt need that wasteland. Poland said it like a grown up man ✊?

Trudeau you sound like a baby why don’t you just take it like a man and grow your internal and external economy and stop crying and or kissing ass

Time to squeeze his woke azzz. Before lies and empathy science even before the medicated weak minds went hook line and sinker over fear science…. This man would be looked at as a puzzzzzzy. Also anyone who is still pretending covid wasn’t a man made attack doesn’t understand modern day war.

Come on Leslie get with it. They're Russians in the oval office and Trump's best friends are Putin, Xi and little Rocket Man.

Donold is not a smart man. He's a lying dotard.

Haha America is NOT hurt at all, but Canada is. We have given trillions of our tax gollars to Canada for no reason, Canada wants the USA to give and give and take and take, but now you’re gonna pay up, only uneducated people are influenced be the trash spewing spouting out of this man’s mouth, we want our money back, I think we should take Canada by FORCE and show you there is nothing you can do!!!

Such a smart man, I wish we had him for President! Not the uneducated stupid clown we have! People! Don’t be fooled, this isn’t about fentanyl! Watch closely people, this is Dump smoking mirrors into stealing from all of us! And in the meantime we will be paying the price for his stealing!!!

Let's not forget how Trudeau and his party ruined our country in the last 4-8 years... It's like Canadians are already forgetting that and are praising him? Sure I get these steps against tariffs are in the right direction but this man still sickens me. Canada is not the same because of him and the liberal party. It's time for change.

It is the Orange Man doing this. The Americans do not want this, the majority stand with Canada

In what fucking world is Trump a smart man??

There is a way of handling difficult situations and circumstances. This is it. Trump would be so much better if he was a man of few words and calculated actions. You cant handle the country like its a business deal. Its deaper than one move. Its many moves with consequences.

Lmap. Blistering. As a Canadian, i am embarrassed of this man. He is not leading Canada.

Donald a smart man? He tries to be polite. Trump is an idiot, for Putin he is a useful idiot.

Half of the American population has fallen victim to this man and his lies. As an American myself, please know that there is still another half of us out there that stand with Canada (and Ukraine).

Fuck man...i hate what trump is doing to my country....why did he get elected???

You Canadians should be proud of this man. Very well spoken. The Dutch stand with you against the USA ✊️

I don’t care what this little man says president Trump know what his doing every thing will be ok

It is heartening to hear Trudeau speak strongly with honesty, respect and dignity. How sad and unfortunate it is for the US an 18:04 d the world that the US has a lying narcisstic felon rapist in Trump, a man with no dignity or respect.

this is hilarious, we barely export anything, this hurts canada more than us. Man, the US needs to export more, we need to stop depending on other countries for imports, that's no good.

Great speech trudeau. Problem, Trump will blame everyone else when failures occur. Top man Trudeau.
