F Trudeau! He doesn’t have the right to speak for Canadians.

President Trudeau said it right... But what about Netanjahu... Who is he... What's he doing...

I’m a Canadian and this guy ‘Trudeau is a FAILURE’ he is supposed to be stepping down shortly. He is fake, he has made our country horrible, he imprisons his own people. He is evil, he is wicked. He should be put in prison for Life! He has broken so many laws it’s insane. The stupidity out of all these governments blows my mind. Time for grownups to run the show and actually keep their promises, and actually do what is right! Whatever you do do not listen to Trudeau he is evil(lover of Satan). I will spend my lifetime dealing with his failures. #trudeausucks #imprisonhim

Thank you Canada for standing up against our very sad excuse for a President. I know you are doing the right thing.

I do agree with you for some things but not all and i do think it was your best speach since 9 years but it does not take away what you have done wrong over your 9 years attacking freely canadien on there rights example:hunting right, sportshooting rights and freedom of expressing,running after the wrong person example:taking away legal firearms when they are not the problem since 80% of illegal firearms comes from outside the canada, I think that trump is just not taking canada seriously, over the past years since you are in power,canada has made a very bad name except for the freedom convye, which in that case made canadien stick together while you steaded in your office,i do think that a new leader/party should take place and give a chance for canada to walk out the mase you have done over 9 years

I AM A PROUD CANADIAN RIGHT NOW!! GREAT SPEECH PM TRUDEAU ❤ !! STICK IT TO DONALD...

The Palestinians should never attack Israel. All this talking is useless now. The Palestinians be right this to themselves.

I am an American, and I support and stand by Canada. Do not back down. We can make the sacrifice for as long as it takes to right the wrongs.

I am so embarrassed being an American right now, Trump is the absolute worst.

Funny how Trudeau has imposed retaliatory when he can't with parliament porogued!! That's a dictator right there going against Canadian law!! Our problem is our own government!!

Someone take out Trump of the White House this man is no right on the head

Embarrassed to be an American right now

How much fentanyl is made right here in the states

I've been at odds with Justin on a few things, BUT I gotta say He's come out firing on all cylinders, and he's been totally Right on all of his focuses, he's Spot-On, You GO Justin, the People are with You!

You’re right Trudeau!

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

I think Trump is so right look at Trudeau what a beta Male just bark at that stooge and he'd flinch away to gay?

Mr Trudeau - you are 100 % right .... I have been a citizen of the USA for my entire life of 67 years.... now I really wish that I was born in CANADA where people are compassionate and not in it ONLY for power and money. I am embarrassed to that I am a citizen of the USA (WELL... THERE'S A FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING !).

I agree with everything Mr Trudeau said EXCEPT that T is a smart guy. Absolutely untrue. He is one of the number of VERY dumb politicians in the republican party right now.

Pls don't get me wrong. I love my president right or wrong. But Trudeau makes a very compelling point. This is not the smartest thing to be doing with these tariffs. Someone pls correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the reason President Trump brought the imposition of tariffs on Canada and Mexico in the 1st place was for them to do more about stopping the flow of Phentenol (excuse if spelling is wrong) into our country. I thought both countries have stepped up to do just that already. No? If so then why continue with this stupidness?

I wish I were in Canada right now.

Mr Trudeau world also knows how you talk & not walk \nAlso you often do not cover topic comprehensively \nTrump is doing the right thing for his country \nIn fact majority voted for him on his assurances he will hit back these who hitting USA

He is right.

I am so sorry to all affected, everyone, from a very sad Canadian right now

This right here has made me even more proud to be Canadian. We stand and unite loud, proud, strong and fearless as a nation. We will NEVER give in or bow down to threats and bullies. \n\nALL OUR ELBOWS UP!!!!\n\n Canada IS NOT and NEVER will be for sale. We will NEVER become the 51st state because you CAN’T have Canada Trump. We will PUSH BACK and we will FIGHT. \n\n❤️?❤️\n??????

Fellow Americans, for those who voted for Donald, you can't make this right. You chose hate versus true Democracy. This is beyond disappointing! Fellow Canadians, I can't speak for all Americans; However, I understand your need to stand strong and United. I stand in solidarity with you.

Thank you Trudeau for standing up for your country, and doing the right thing for your people. I respect you and support Canada ❤. Trump is not a president, he’s a Felon.

I can't believe I'm siding with Trudeau, but he is right. The USA cannot afford to mistreat its allies. Such a disgrace!

First acknowledge that a country has the right to control its borders. The US has lost its Aircraft industry (Boeing), its Car industry (Detroit) and now its Semiconductor industry (Intel). Millions of unscreened people are infiltrating. Trump is trying. In the case of Canada and Mexico tariffs are counter-productive. Its tough to turn a declining empire around. His strategy is to tax foreign goods instead of taxing US resources and to force local production. The US citizen pays either way.

It is a very dumb thing indeed. If China comes in throwing a lifeline to Canada and Mexico, America will have an enemy right at its door

Most of you dont know what's going on Trudeau has a bad approval rating and there is more to the story. Trump is fighting on your side Americans yet you fight against him. You want lower prices but think that comes from debt of the US you want less drugs but belive the president that has free use in their country to do any drug imaginable right next to the border.

You know Trump is beyond horrible when Trudeau is the preferred leader. Geezus, how low can the bar go. Trudeau, Trump is not smart - quit saying that. I realize you do it solely to appease him and to appeal to his fragile ego but quit it. Trump is many things - a racist, a rapist, a pedophile, a conman, a grifter, a criminal - he is not smart. Just check his records from Wharton - oh right you can't. He has threatened to sue if they ever released them. He has redused to take an IQ test which every other President has done. He knows he's not smart.

Trump was right for starting the tariffs. Canada did not play fair to begin with.

Just a guess but do you think for a second trump knew this would happen?? And he know its still the right thing to do instead of being taken advantage of? And that canada will talk tojgh amd then renegotiate? Nah not you cry baby libs. Brandon peobably wrote this speech for his teleprompter.\n\nHeres an idea. Meet with him in person and be this tough! Hmmm

Trudeau control your borders, you have no cards, have nothing compared to the USA... You chose the Tariff Match didn't you now... IF you had 'border' control in place, you wouldn't be able to spend 1 Billion dollars, and you wouldn't be acting just days ago... And yes Since Trump was Elected, border crossings lessened because illegals know they better get with it. Has nothing to do with you Trudeau. ANd you do sugar coat, well lie, about everything. Oh, and Dems don't have your backs. They are busy freaking out right now. lol

Mr. Trudeau, you are absolutely right, Mr. Putin is a liar, dictator and murderer, someone have said that,\n“ Birds of feather, flocks together “, I am so ashamed of Mr. Trump, so does 52% of Americans.

If we are going to be an authoritarian, antidemocratic, fascist dictatorship, we have to shed our old friends who would get all judgy about the the human rights abuses. So, step one, destroy relationships with friends. Step two, buddy up to Putin and other dictatorships who will be glad to trade and associate with us even if we do run concentration camps or whatever.\nOr Trump is sucking Putin's butt again for mysterious reasons. He likes it so much, like a drug addict, he is willing to lose everything . If it were just a matter of his individual tastes, I don't get it, but none of my business. Except by dragging the whole country down for his kink, it is out business. So, I think we should cut Trump lose to go to Russia and run around on his knees chasing Putin as much as he likes. Meanwhile, we need a president and I can only say F-no to Vance and I don't know how many other dictator butt goblins in the line of succession, so, since Trudeau is going to be looking for work, lets make and exception and hire him for president. I'd much rather have one with a pro-Canada bias than one one who seems to think he is Putin's Elon Musk.

Trudy is lecturing US , and we give Trudy billions of dollars because he can't run his own country, Ha ha ha ha. Trump will cut off his allowance too. We really don't need his stinkin canadian bacon and maple syrup. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, Trudy take your fertelizer and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Oh that's right, you're full of it already.

Right on Canada!

We are fighting against Fentnyal, so LET ME BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ??????? bro really had to drop that right after

This entire Trump tariff obsession has NOTHING to do with improving the US economy. It is specifically designed to destabilize the global economy, and force the all-out fighting WWIII war. The belief is this. Wreck the world, then have the oligarchs step in to fix it. Right. The very people bent on causing all the world's problems will be the saviours of mankind. Wake up world.

Unfortunately he is lying as per usual. The fent is coming from china into Canada though our east coast and then down across the boarder. The fact is it’s twice as expense right over the border from Canada. Wonder why that is? Maybe it’s because it’s another border that had to be crossed.

Dear Americans, this man you call intelligent, is stepping down due to how much suffering he has caused this country, and no I’m not a right wing trump jock rider; I believe trump is a fascist, which is very clear by his expansionist ambitions, and his attempt at forcing my country into submission

openly insulting the President of the US of A is not smart, no matter how right you are

Im bawling. Thank you to all the Americans and other nations standing with us and I am ever so sorrybwe are here right now.

After he cut all his ties with the rest of the world to focus just on America, Trudeau is cutting his ties with America now. F incompetence right in his face

People have the right idea of talking to trump directly and make it clear that he just took sides with Russia over his allies in democracy and freedom,something that no other president would do allow a dictator to invade a country and blackmail the country that is being invaded just for it mineral and don’t have a statement of giving help. I don’t respect trump or his family they are standing by his side as he destroys the country what kind of people are they are they that corrupt the whole family is willing let their father or let her husband do what he doing without saying anything to stop the corruption.

As an American, I am so embarrassed… I cannot believe everything going on. I’m disgusted with that orange man, his cabinet. I want to throw up every time I see politics right now. What shame. ?

So much respect for you, sir. Showing what a real leader is supposed to act like. be like. My one great country has been taken over by right wing extremists. Put into power by my fellow Americans who have just lost their way. Bought into all the hate that he has brought. This American has always thought of Canada as a major friend. And will continue to do so. This American stands with Canada I stand with Ukraine I stand against Putin and always will.

I don't care what side of the fence you sit on. I did not need to hear this man speak to already know Canada was, but may yet be, our greatest ally and trading partner. I have no idea what possessed Mr. Trump to decide to stab our allies in the back, but it was not something good. 27.5% of voting age adults voted for him. How many of them were serenaded by hollow promises and a good slogan. Perhaps all of the mud slinging and Russian media interference helped? If you add in our more studious teenagers, truly reformed felons, and immigrants who actually deserve a gold card, that number plummets to less than 25%. I won't ask people to wake up, if you are reading this you are already more than capable of finding out that I speak only the hard truth. This means less than a quarter of america wanted this. This means your vote and opinions DO count. I know it is incredibly difficult to reach for and find answers in a world where your president or primary candidate throws 'fake news' in your face on a regular basis. He is actually telling the truth. When he is not telling you is that he is a primary enabler of 'fake news'. To him, only his word is law, only his opinion matters, only he deserves to be on top, and he deserves authority over all of your lives. Do the right thing, we all have a civil duty to understand our candidates to the very best of our ability. When a man has been convicted of dozens of felonies, and we tell you that this is only what we were willing to expose. You may want start believing us. The genuine facts of his past are unilaterally corrupting to our children and good people alike. Do not let the american people repeat their mistakes, force Mr. Trump to atone for his mistakes. No not empower him to sweep them under the rug for the sake of his own arrogance, because that is exactly what he is doing by trying to dismantle the CIA and FBI. These two institutions are shining examples of America's pursuit of freedom and justice. Freedom to keep billionaires from corrupting the morals of our children. Freedom to know that the rule of law is immutable, our constitution is not just a paper with fancy traditional sentiment. Even if the law may sometimes be bent for the sake of decency, forgiveness, and the pursuit of 'united we stand', our constitution cannot. Amendments require the FULL support of nearly all Americans, not 27.5% of unrestricted adults.
