I am a muslim and a naturalized citizen and a pious person, but I don't know what those guys tried to achieve by praying in the middle of the block...Believe me - this is just a show off...

Just in case you guys didn’t get the memo, the government plans on raising the population of Canada to 100 million people by 2050 is what their plan is we don’t have the infrastructure or the housing or the medical staff or the schooling to make this possible, but they’re gonna try it anyways

Lmao putting up a picture of someone’s god to just share them . The real problem is Islam ☪️ where the guy was planning to blow up a Jewish synagogue. Try stopping em first

its funny how indian guy is trying to divert the public attention from The Indian fatigue that canada is going through and is trying to scare people of other religions. well tried diddy.

it's a joke to speak like a crybaby to USA.. we're already suffering here in Canada - instead of trying to make this right with USA, we're declaring a (trade)WAR??? this fool will run Canada deeper into the ground than he already has in the last 8 years... keep in mind this guy officially resigned - why on earth is he continued to be allowed to speak this way?

This guy, as well as every Liberal on earth are completely and utterly clueless and idiotic!! Trump isn't taking sides with Putin! Trump understands that BOTH Zelenskyy and Putin must sit down and agree to a peace agreement... THAT'S IT! Putin is ready.. but Zelenskyy doesn't want to even try.. for one simple reason.. MONEY! he knows that if the war ends, the gravy train called American money comes to an end... Billions of dollars is unaccounted for! Let's put our thinking caps on for just a moment.. where do you think that money disappeared to? Billions of dollars doesn't just vanish in thin air! So now that Trump is putting an end to Zelenskyy's gravy train and has called for the war to end, for people to stop dying and for peace to happen.. that makes him on Putin's side!?!? Good lord .. if this were Obama or even Biden getting this deal done in the same fashion, the media and these same liberals would be calling them heroes! They would be up for the Nobel Peace prize! And liberals wonder why they lost so terribly in November!!!

Why is this guy still taking shots..!! Isn’t he resigned..?? Before presenting the budget 2025..?? What a joke this joker told he is going but liberals have no one..! They have stopped parliament and budget 2025 and now he is standing here and pump his chest as if he is fighting Trump..!! Reality check this is completely because of this looser we are facing this..?? The comments he made on Trump thinking he won’t return..?? Everything Trump blaming of Canada is caused by this looser in past 5yrs with his Pimp Jagmeet..!! Today this dumb piece of shit is taking..!! If it’s True they are no border crossing are drugs issue why these liberal beggars are going to Washington and trying to prove they are doing more to Stop..!!

Your no friend the Canadian people are did they already told you they want you gone so but you have to say don't matter You don't even make vehicles and you tariff our vehicles do you need us a lot more than we need you And as far as pooling goes yes he's a dictator and not a good person but he also did want he had to do for his country since NATO kept moving east after promising not to and yet we still try to help you trade and they want to try to be tough guys like you how's that working for both of you

So here's the thing smart guy if you're terrifying us and we decided to tear up you back at the same rate, you're doing us wise that us being the bad guy? It's a pretty simple question. Why do we have tariffs at all on each other? If we're all just trying to get along and why are we giving you billions of dollars? When you're not a part of our country, why do we protect you militarily?\n And your citizens. We don't get paid for any of that and that's a lot of money.\nNot including everything you're using the b**** and wine about what we do.America Or invented The reason why you have free medical is because well we pay for it basically That in your citizens And something like sixty to eighty percent of all medical breakthroughs happened in The united states , which means we also Substitute Everything medical that you guys have pretty much so therefore we paid for that

Did this guy really just try to punk us?....?

As an American. I don't think it was a good thing to bully other countries, especially allies and neighbors. There are other diplomatic ways to do things. I am not left or right, but I felt like Obama and Clinton had better ways with international relationships. I know our leader are trying to do their best for us Americans, and well we have been helping other countries for decades. Maybe, it is time that other countries start paying us back. I don't know why every move has to be on the media though? Especially the bullying with Zelensky? They could have talked over it without showing it to the whole world. What do yo guys think? Was that even necessary?

This is almost political interference from Canada trying to attack trump over this and to try and turn Americans against each other. Most Canadians will tell you this guy needs to go.

Let me tell you guys something to all the commentators:\nJ Trudeau is a merciful dictator who all he does is talk talk talk with no action, the only action he does is spend taxpayers money for his and his parties benefit\nHe is a extreme socialist praising lunatic who uses words to try and hypnotize his population which does not work. He destroyed this once beautiful country and he publically laughs about it when asked. If you guys think that the USSR was abolished in the 90’s, i highly suggest you take another look at your upstairs neighbour. Take it from a canadian. Do not trust or believe anything that thing says

Donald is not a smart guy doing a dumb thing, he’s a dumb guy trying to do a smart thing…nothing yet

Damn, Canadians hate this guy but he's basically the political Kanye. He can get as much hate as he wants but he's still the best celebrity out there in his own mind.\n\nJust saying... if I'm Canada, im not going to try to rally support of the American people by falsely threatening that we will suffer at Canada's hand because of retaliatory tariffs. Thats just silly...\n\nThis man should talk about building his own economy instead of complaining that his benefactor is asking for aome money back.

Trudeau you need to resign you have a hatred attitude Be a smart guy yourself and try to work with the President of America Take your big car plan business to America so you don’t need to pay any tariffs Well you do send your vehicles to America

Just so it's known but America has never been self-sufficient. We have always been reliant on others with good trade and fairness towards each other. My grandparents went through ww2 and had to go through rations on everything from gas, oil to food and tires. You got a book for everything and had to tear them out to get your products. They said back 1943 they had to keep the farm and barely made it to vday. You all need to look at history and research things. These Republicans and president is gonna ruin farms and cost people to the point they will have to choose their meds or food. Never in my wildest imagination did I think we could have sunk so low and loosing allies and gaining a dictator that was a known Assassin and removed voting in Russia and here we have a guy in charge trying to imitate him. I guess criminals stick together

The guys on the way out it’s all talk, the new guy will make a deal. Very easy to be tough when you’ll be gone in days like CNN admitted. This is his you didn’t fire me I quit type speech. Trying to spin narrative with the last chance he has

Why is this guy trying to make people afraid? Sounds like he is the one who is worried. Id rather have Chip production here in the US than his assurance.

Lol this guy is a joke, trump will make America great again! Halirious how Treadu is trying to make american fearful of the tarrifs. Its no pain, no gain. America will support their own and will supercede all countries in growth.

This guy sucks. He do want I now what Americans want. We are tried of our first 3 day a of the work week goes to other countries who are now acting like brats

Robert De Niro’s statement on Donald is perfect. \n\n “I’ve spent a lot of time studying bad men. I’ve examined their characteristics, their mannerisms, the utter banality of their cruelty. Yet there’s something different about Donald Trump. When I look at him, I don’t see a bad man. Truly. I see an evil one. Over the years, I’ve met gangsters here and there. This guy tries to be one, but he can’t quite pull it off. There’s such a thing as “honor among thieves.” Yes, even criminals usually have a sense of right and wrong. Whether they do the right thing or not is a different story — but — they have a moral code, however warped. Donald Trump does not. He’s a wannabe tough guy with no morals or ethics. No sense of right or wrong. No regard for anyone but himself — not the people he was supposed to lead and protect, not the people he does business with, not the people who follow him, blindly and loyally, not even the people who consider themselves his “friends.” He has contempt for all of them. We New Yorkers got to know him over the years that he poisoned the atmosphere and littered our city with monuments to his ego. We knew first hand that this was someone who should never be considered for leadership. We tried to warn the world in 2016. The repercussions of his turbulent presidency divided America and rattled New York City beyond imagination. Remember how we were jolted by crisis in early 2020, as a virus swept the world. We lived with Donald Trump’s bombastic behavior every day on the national stage, and we suffered as we saw our neighbors piling up in body bags. The man who was supposed to protect this country put it in peril, because of his recklessness and impulsiveness. It was like an abusive father ruling the family by fear and violent behavior. That was the consequence of New York’s warning getting ignored. Next time, we know it will be worse. Make no mistake: the twice-impeached, 4-time indicted Donald Trump is still a fool. But we can’t let our fellow Americans write him off like one. Evil thrives in the shadow of dismissive mockery, which is why we must take the danger of Donald Trump very seriously. So today we issue another warning. From this place where Abraham Lincoln spoke — right here in the beating heart of New York — to the rest of America: This is our last chance. Democracy won’t survive the return of a wannabe dictator. And it won’t overcome evil if we are divided. So what do we do about it? I know I’m preaching to the choir here. What we’re doing today is valuable, but we have to take today into tomorrow – take it outside these walls. We have to reach out to the half of our country who have ignored the hazards of Trump and, for whatever reason, support elevating him back into the White House. They’re not stupid, and we must not condemn them for making a stupid choice. Our future doesn’t just depend on us. It depends on them. Let’s reach out to Trump’s followers with respect. Let’s not talk about “democracy.” “Democracy” may be our holy grail, but to others it is just a word, a concept, and in their embrace of Trump, they’ve already turned their backs on it. Let’s talk about right and wrong. Let’s talk about humanity. Let’s talk about kindness. Security for our world. Safety for our families. Decency. Let’s welcome them back. We won’t get them all, but we can get enough to end the nightmare of Trump, and fulfill the mission of this “Stop Trump Summit.””

From UK , Trump and Vance should be forced out of their jobs as are not fit for purpose . Terrible what they are playing at , Trump is easily taken in with Putin he wants Trump himself to be a Dictator just alike his pal , his hero Putin \nPutin he is a mass murderer and wanted for war crimes also .\nEvil man Putin and trump just what does he see in him . Both as said Trump and Vance should be taken out of their jobs \nforced if need be . Trump sais he is trying to stop a war in Ukraine ? Seems to me he has not \nSeems so far as i type he talks bull , and just after the rare minerals in the Ukraine . The mans not fit for the job within \nand needs removed along with his co habs Vance and the other idiot stood behind them in that room .\nTreated Zelensky terribly also in that room a set up against him it was ..Americans get rid of them guys somehow .\n\nCanada all the best .

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

He's not appeasing putin. He's trying to stop people from dying. Respecting the agreement to not put nato in the Ukraine, is basically living up to your word. The borders go back to where they were at 2014. I believe that's a fair deal and will stop 2,200 people from dying every single day. You guys are praising this crap Zolenesky spews... while everybody in the Ukraine has lost their sons. And now they are grabbing old men off the street literally while walking their dog and making them soldiers.

Trudeau is a Liar and a Thief. He has only Hurt Canadians. Now he is trying to pretend he is Worth Keeping around. We all know he is not. They have had Tariffs on American Products for Decades already Stop acting like a tough guy.

We’re the reason the Geneva convention keeps getting longer. Go on, Donnie, try us. \n\nTo the American people: sorry. You elected the wrong guy.

Its just roughly 2 mos. since the inauguration and this guy ,trump,is \ndictating and trying to rule the world.He is greedy of the power.

Suddenly he want to fight drugs while for past years you legalize every possible drug i Canada. You should be ashamed of yourself Trudeau. When Trump wanted to put tarrifs on Canada you were gone to Portugal apart of making a deal with the guy. Now you cry like a little guy and blaming Trunp for everything while you wasnt even here to negotiate and you shut down Canadian government for your own partisan purpose and government does not exist right now in Canada just because you afraid of loosing election so you just trying to survive as a PM for as long as possible. Not trump but YOU destroyed Canada and its economy and making Canadians life harder and harder and spending our tax money all over the world

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

The real question is when is this guy gonna get replaced? Lol \n\nI realize this place is a massive echo chamber, but this response is a dumb one. He needs to be on the phone trying to make a deal, not putting on a show.

So impressed with Trudeau and Canada as a whole. This should make any self respecting American citizen feel embarrassed to compare their apology for a president to this man and his team. P.S. Note to Trudeau - Trump is NOT a very smart guy, don't do what the rest of the world is trying to do, flatter this susceptible idiot hoping to get him on side, it won't, it just makes him certain that he is so special and clever and makes his behaviour 100% worse.

What a great thing to do Justin all of a sudden you care about the border ,you never did untill Mr Trump call you out on your weak government, you own this mess Justine ,you created this mess,and now on top you tried to look like tought guy ,just cuz your days as A prime Minister are just a few,,,woooa hight five though Guy,,,

As an American, I've been trying to work out in Alberta as a Pipe Insulator for over five years with no response, but you guys let in other foreign nations. How about you give the people in the US citizenship if we are seeking refuge. I want out of this crappy over priced country more than you know, and all of my Canadian friends have way more respect, values and integrity that the people in the 40's 50's 60..etc used to have in this country. We love you Canada!

IS THIS GUY STUPID? YOU HAVE TO BE CIVIL WITH EVERYONE..... CANT TRY AND STOP A WAR BY BEING HOSTILE. \n\nTHATS WHY CANADIANS ARE STUPID

I remember most Canadians didn't want this Justin guy. What hypocrisy. They trying to sabotage Trump.

So nice to have a smart, informed, articulate leader…versus the narcissistic, rambling, embarrassing, childish orange d!ck we have. And this is from a middle class guy in a southern state. No doubt Führer Trump will try to stay forever,but hopefully this mess will go away in four years

When will the Western leaders wake up, they still talk about friends. Trump is not a friend. Trump looks up to Dictator and it is clearly his big dream to make the US the same type of regime, he does nothing but tell the less intelligent Americans that Putin etc. are not the bad guys, they need to get used to the idea that that type of regime is a good thing. So it is easier to try to maintain power

As a Canadian. We know our prime minister is preventing an election by prologuing parliament. He isn't as great as you think. Our little economy is 1.9 trillion half of California's. Were literally only hurting ourselves here with more taxes. aka tariffs. This guy is playing politics to try to get votes. by rallying up nationalism. Trying to play the hero. He's made our lives unaffordable here in Canada for the last 9 years. Housing food bills. Ethics breaches, Chinese payoffs to his parties politicians, spending Canadians money on his friends. Enough of this guy. Quit delaying our election dictator.

Not inflation. Its non inflationary increase to cost of living. Two VERY different things. Sneaky guy tried to sneak a quick one in there.

Trudeaux is such a weak man that it’s amusing to watch him try to act tough. Why Canadians put up with this guy is beyond my comprehension. What he did to his own people like cutting them off from their own bank accounts is authoritarian

Whoever supports this guy has never really follow Canadian politics. This dude has been destroying Canada since he stepped in the office. It’s crazy how the media try so hard to clean up his image. We are all hopeless ?

Damn, he is impressive! If I wasn’t an octogenarian, I would try to go after this guy!

Donald is not a smart guy. Do not flatter him. He is a russian asset and Putin will lose the war if Donald does not fuck up Amerika and Ukraine fast. You guys try to reason with a russian asset and megalomaniac that wants to have a third term. Wake up and understand. This is a new world where diplomacy with US and Russia does not work. It stalls.

It's not the uSA it's Trump and his cronies. Putin is no more a murderous dictator, than GEnocide Joe or Trump. CNN is the mouthpiece for USA imperialism. CNN lies and is biased against Palestine, drooling support for the illegal occupation that calls itself Israel. Don't work with Trump, destroy Trump. LOL Trump is NOT a smart guy, he is a narcissist and liar, criminal and gas lighter. He is trying to run the USA like a business, cutting off citizens from healthcare and social security. Trump is a criminal and there is only one end for him. JAIL

Trudeau is covering his butt he,s a liar corrupt evil person now trying to act like the victim he is full of crap guys and truth and exposure will be shown

This guy is absolute idiot. America doesn’t need Canada. Canada needs the USA. This guy is a communist. Trump is trying to stop an endless war with casualties and this clown is trying to compare it to tariffs. And who is watching this clown show called CNN THE FAKE NEWS CHANNEL. Lol.

As a Finnish guy living in Germany I am so glad to hear PM Mr Trudeau´s speech. There are mighty many people around the world who respect and love each other, and try to keep to do so. Chapeau Canadians!! And, the EU is not to screw the US, it never was.

We are all living in strange times! The bad guy (Putin) is defended like he’s the good guy and the victim (Zelensky) is criticized like he’s the aggressor. This is so weird and negative like an episode of the Twighlight Zone! I think I can understand how Trump is viewing things. Bill O’Reilly seems to know how Trump thinks. Nevertheless, things are upside down! USA voting at the UN with North Korea and Putin and Belarus and against the EU and UK and NATO alliance nations … against the victim Ukraine? This is unheard of! Yet this is so ironic because Leonid Brezhnev, who was the USSR leader, when Russia invaded the sovereign nation of Afghanistan, and Vladimir Putin was a young KGB agent at that time, working for Brezhnev, is now in his position as leader, and he invaded Brezhnev’s sovereign homeland of Ukraine. Brezhnev must be weeping from hell and regretting his invasion of Afghanistan! Crying from hell, seeing his servant, Putin, in his seat of authority, and invading his homeland like he did to Afghanistan, I’m sure Brezhnev regrets but it’s too late now. He’s burning in hell and he can’t get out of hell! \n\nThe bad deal that Clinton and Yeltson and John Major dealt to Ukraine in the 1990s when they moved all of her nuclear weapons to Russia was like declawing the Ukrainian cat and now the cat can’t defend herself against aggressors because she has no claws to defend herself from aggressive attackers!\n\nCanada and Mexico are our friends not our enemies! China and North Korea still idolize the USSR/CCCP flag and Soviet Union hammer and sickle. Putin is a thug and gangster like Joseph Stalin. Everyone forgot what happened to Alexander Litvinenko except for those like John Bolton. \n\nWe are all living in perilous times! The wrongdoer (Putin) is called good and the victim (Zelensky) is called bad! This is so negatively bizarre and wrong! Isaiah 5:20 warns against this! Putin is not pure evil but he’s definitely not a good guy! He’s a gangster and thug like Al Capone! I think President Trump is walking on a tight rope by trying to make a good deal with Putin. And that tight rope spans from one high rise building to another - the senate and house chambers of the US legislature. The midterms are coming soon and if President Trump loses the house and senate, that tight rope could snap! And all those shock and awe executive orders etc. could come back to haunt him like a boomerang thumping his head.\n\nNever in my wildest imagination would I ever imagine Canadians harboring bad feelings towards the USA! This is 180 degrees opposite of how things were when Ronald Reagan and Brian Mulroney were in the political arena!
