Hey Trudeau you still look like your dad Fidel Castro .. i thought you were stepping down.. oh wait thats the best quality of liberals is lying ????

It was partly Trudeau's fault for stepping on Trump's nerves by letting Melania French kiss him. ???

What a whiny little clown this Trudeau is. When your high school drama teacher becomes Prime Minister. Trudeau should have taken steps to defuse the crisis before it started.

how about Trudeau step down then none of this would be happening. Trudeau & the Liberals have destroyed Canada. Could he leave already? US economy is bigger than Canada idiot.

About time Trudeau step up for his country.

Trudeau..pay your share. You step up to the line.. Your broke

Trump loves America. Trudeau, you stepped down I thought? Don't you have the lowest ratings from your own people? We love our president, well the normal ones here in USA, not the gender confused left of course. Tariffs work, that's why you're on tv right now addressing it with such fear.

Unfortunately Trudeau has decided to step down. Had he shown our people this side of him years ago I’m sure he’d be seen in a different light and would never have made the decision to step down as PM. Great work PM Trudeau ??

Time for the rich people of this country to step and help us weather this storm and not move your head office and business to the U S Can't wait to see the end of the Liberals but I have to say that might be Trudeau's best speech. Too little too late tho.. Not sure calling him dumb will help no matter how true it is.

Didn’t this guy stepped down as the Prime Minister of Canada and then like refused to hold elections and continue to maintain his position even though he had said he didn’t want to do the job anymore. I can’t listen to Trudeau about

I thought Trudeau stepped down already?

Thought this man was stepping down and not liked in Canada Everyone should get the facts This man said No to closing our borders are you Americans are not this man was letting Illegal immigrants through on the Canadian side SCREW TRUDEAU

You're not our President, Trudeau. Step down or you'll get hurt.

Since Trudeau announced he would step down, it seems like he's become much more grounded and pragmatic.

What an outstanding leader Justin Trudeau is….and has been on the world stage and at home for many years. I hope he does not step down from politics or not seek re election as Leader and withdraws his resignation letter. This action s exactly what Trump needs to hear and bring him down to earth but then Trump is a puppet for Maga and Putin. Trump had no real brain it is others leading him along and he is too stupid to see that the King is not wearing clothes. Trudeau has spelt it out with clarity.

Why are still there, Trudeau? I thought you stepped down. The US does not need any of your resources, nor your BS. Go home, and let someone with common sense stand up and speak.

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down un popular leader in Canada.

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down in popular leader in Canada. ?

I'm an American. I stand with America... And this is called negotiation, deal with it. Trudeau is a stepped down loser.

Why do i thinkg if Trudeau steps down, the situation will resolve

Hey, here, from Germany.\nHave been to Canada as a young guy several times and loved it.\nI`m impressed of how you react and how Doug Ford and Trudeau stepped up.\nUnfortunaletly we Germans lately elected the wrong guy as chancellor in my opinion, I hope he can handle it anyway.\nGo Canada, eh!

Trudeau is nothing and nobody to us. He's not our Prime Minister. Remember when he supposedly stepped down? Then he shut down the government and removed all checks and balances and accountability. You're in bad shape if you have to pull this doofus up to take a swipe at your own president. Why don't you report on what this weak puppet has done to his own country.

The USA is no friend of yours Trudeau. Most Canadians aren't your friends either which is why you've had to step down.

Too bad he stepped down. Prime Minister Trudeau speaks and uses clear words. Trump got stuck with first-grade words. Immigration and all this gender craziness is how the demagogs won elections.

Its a shame Trudeau only now grew a backbone. For the americans who dont know he has step down and will not be PM much longer which is why he doesnt mind lashing out.

Could Canada Win a Trade War?\n Trump has waged Economic War on Canada in order to bring us to our knees so that we will eventually capitulate to become the 51st state.\n\n Had he come in a nice way, as a friend verses a foe, he would have had a lot more interest, especially from Alberta. \n\n Now that we are here, the question has to be asked, can we actually win a trade war that has probably been extensively war-gamed by the U.S.?\n\n Our politicians want us to go toe to toe with a 900 lb gorilla. The U.S. economy is at least 10 times our size and are less dependent on our trade than we are. We may give them a black eye but they could rip our arms and legs off. \n\n Retaliatory tariffs play into their hands. It’s the perfect excuse to increase the tax to 50 or 100%. So will we do the same? This would devastate us, achieving their goals.\n\n Canadians are already fighting back without the government making things worse. People are boycotting U.S. goods en masse and cancelling travel plans, etc. and this is already having a strong effect.\n\n Some say turn off the electricity and oil, but who will pay price? It will be the businesses and employees, not the politicians who are now trying to act tough. If we want this to turn into a real kinetic war, then turning off the taps may do it. \n\n We have seen countless times where politicians tell us what we want to hear, making us think they are heading is a certain direction, only to find they do the exact opposite. This proves you can not believe what career politicians say and have to go by what they do, or don’t do, instead. Yet now, they confidently declare that Canada will never become the 51st state. This should raise eyebrows. \n\n Almost all of the MPs and Premiers are unanimous in entering into a trade war we can not win. After tariffs go ballistic, our dollar drops to .35 cents, and we get utterly crushed, I can see them say, “in order to save what’s left of our economy and society we must reluctantly join the U.S. or face certain destruction”. \n\n Not only would the decades old goal of a North American Union be accomplished, but we would take a large step towards the video statement that the World Economic Forum - WEF posted on their website. “By 2030, you will own nothing and be happy”. \n\n The WEF is working with the UN to achieve their Agenda 2030 goals and is what Pierre Poilievre and the “Conservatives” signed Canada onto Sept. 27, 2015. This is what Trudeau has been implementing. Mark Carnie, Pierre, and Jagmeet Singh would finish off the job. Read the redistribution of wealth goal #10. Are you feeling poorer yet? Remember, one has to dig deeper to see through the document’s ultimate double speak written for public consumption. \n\n There is much more going on than meets the eye. Our best defence is to not play into their hands. A much better plan needs to be developed by minds who see the big picture for creative solutions, and it does not seem to be those in office now

I want Justin Trudeau to stay a PM, he does not need to step down. We need him the most right now

Americans: You may think Trudeau is acting like a golden boy. His approval rating from his OWN country is a terrible 34% . He needs to step down like he has been taking about since November.

FO Trudeau looser step down you f things up enough

Just put these two in a ring and the loser steps down as President. Easy Money on Trudeau and we ALL get our lives back

From a proud Canadian living in Spain for 25 years, I'm supporting you my fellow Canadians! I've stopped ordering products from the USA... I won't step foot there until this imbecil is kicked out of office by smart Americans. Trudeau you were even being nice when calling dumb orange man smart.

President Trudeau. I applaud you for your honest and direct support to your people. \nI have decided that I will not stand with the American flag on holiday at our yearly sports fixtures to the USA. I will not step foot in that country again until these criminals running this country are gone. My trips twice a year will be in Canada instead. \nI’m from the UK, and we cannot believe the outrageous amount of egotism coming out of America with Musk, Trump, Vance and all his spineless minions and supporters. To all the USA victims, I pray you get through the next bumpy 4 long years with your traitors. God bless you all.

Great speech by Trudeau, trump has over stepped his limited authority, he’s not a king

As a Canadian i havent forgotten what Trudeau done to us. Trump did not ruin our economy Trudeau and his liberal government did. Remember Trudeau stepped down for a reason NO ONE WANTS HIM IN POWER

Anybody can tell tell me when the governor Trudeau will step down office?

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for stepping up and not taking President Felons Bullshit!! ????????

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.

I’m disgusted by Trudeau as soon as he opens his mouth so I can’t listen to him - doesn’t matter if he makes sense (for once). Justin Trudeau is a criminal politician with no mandate. He is an elected dictator who won’t step down to further his personal narcissistic agenda. Even when he “resigns” he fails. Tariffs just make us pay more at the checkout - Trudeau is a lunatic. I have lost all faith in this so called “democracy” in Canada and I’m not completely opposed to a 51st state idea - it would be better once one looks beyond the Canadian pride and patriotism.

I am not Trudeau's biggest fan by any way, shape, or form...\n\nBut he nailed it here. Wish he'd showed leadership like this for years before agreeing to step down, but better late than never.\n\nThe North will never f*cking bend the f*cking knee.\n\nIf you come for us we will come for you too.\n\nWarrior peoples don't cower from fights.\n\nCanadians are warriors, see our involvement in any war for proof.\n\nWake up, America, there's a Russian boot on your neck.

Why is it that when Trudeau stepped down he became a great leader? God damn it, Justin. We needed THIS version of you YEARS AGO. Regardless, I am so glad that JT has our back. Fuck Trump.

The REAL reason Justin Trudeau is stepping down from office is because he's coming to be PRESIDENT over the Untied States Of America!!!! Please HURRY. We ❤You!!! ???

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

over 60% of canadians wanted trudeau to step down.. he did.

As a Canadian, Trudeau is an unserious loser who has no problem preventing key infrastructure projects like pipelines and refineries that would have made us more independent, and taxing us to live through carbon tax. All this is silly performative nonsense geared towards cementing a legacy and will cause more pain to Canadians. If his intellect is so chanllenged it can't go two steps ahead and realize our economy will be crushed and we'll have to capitulate before the US, well I guess that explains the last ten years. He should be tried for treason.

I thought this Woke idiot was stepping down. Trudeau is a disaster, everyone hates him in Csnada like they hate Zelensky in Ukraine. Putin is at 95% approval.

trudeau was going to be impeached before he stepped down

trudeau isnt canadas pm, he has been asked to step down, he resigned, his party doesn't want him, the people do not want him, he has actively put a stop on government while he runs around making promises or threats he cannot or does not have the mandate to do so... why doesn't the media mention this.... sign a canadaian

Mr. Trudeau.. I wish you hadn't stepped down as PM. You're a noble leader for Canada.

Too bad Trudeau stepped down. North America needs him.

Yes, I’m commenting prior to watching the video. Trudeau, no one cares, step down and let a real adult handle this situation.
