Bravo Trudeau ! Never thought you had it in you. Unlike our fawning PM Starmer you have shown Canadians has the courage to hit back at bullies. Straight talking , plain speaking non of the arrogance, the lies , the gangster threats of the disgraceful Trump regime.

Trump now thinks ''why is he lying to me, I'm not that smart''

Trump will LIE to steal from our allies, disgusting

We dont want this either…the golden age only applies to billionaires that will profit from trump’s administration. We know that anything that comes out of trumps mouth is a lie. The heritage foundation and white nationalists have distorted trumps view and feed his need for power while they dismantle our country.

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

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

Trump is not really an American. He wants to be king. He has said it aloud. No real American would seek to be king. It is contrary to our national ethos. Trump will lie, do, and say anything to achieve this goal. What Americans don’t get is that kings need to have serfs. That is our role, in Trump’s eyes, as American citizens. He wants us jobless, penniless and totally dependent on the king. You think I am kidding- Trump is a malignant narcissist given to delusions of grandeur and, you voters have given Trump power to make his insanity a reality. Everyone is now bowing down.

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

Trump promised to lower prices on Day 1. His strategy is to lie so many times that he can never be held accountable for a single one

Trudeua trying to get the Americans to hate Trump is reason enough to believe the tariffs will hurt Canada, and not the American people. Lying coward that doesn't care about his own citizens.

Very proud of our Prime Minister!!! The Trump administration is currently destroying America. Canadians and Americans have been working hand in hand for more than a century and it's so sad to see that a bunch of billionnaires are using lies and manipulation to get their way. I'm also very surprised to see that the Republican politicians are reacting like puppets. Let's hope that truth and common sense will soon prevail in the United States.

Trudeau couldn’t be more right and honorable. Unfortunately, our president, Trump, is a lying, rapist, pig!

If you watch CNN ? you are part of the problem LOL check on WHO pays them to spin the narrative!\n\nWar? Dictator ? Those are some strong and exaggerated words. As a diplomat he should know better ? just protect the borders like a good neighbor and you won’t have any issues … I think the US will be ok. \n\nCanada ?? has been an open border, ask all your DoorDash and Uber drivers in the US where they are coming from !!!! They all say Canada… Indians, Turkish, Palestine, Hispanics… quit lying ?\n\nJust because he speaks gently doesn’t mean he ain’t full of ?\n\n“Donald” uhmm President Trump .. homeboy shows little respect … for the president the entire country chose.

Seems this guy by the way he is talking should be both president of Canada and America as he dioesnt talk like the chaos president clown in America , cuz everytime another country speaks Trump just lies

FACT: There is MORE Fentanyl moving from the US TO Canada than the other way around. Trump is lying to his party but sadly they just eat it up. Dark days are here and Civil war is coming to the US because Donald will try to stop protesting with violence. He is already threatening pulling funding from any college or university that allows campus protesting. WTF is that besides a NAZI maneuver?

There is not much to do. Trump is constantly lying to his people. He said again that American banks cannot go to Canada and that Canadian banks can go to the United States. Which is totally false. There are American banks in Canada. There are not many since they have to follow Canadian rules just like Canadian banks have to follow Canadian rules

You lied about Trump being for Trump and we sure don't need lesson from you and your failing country I read Canadian people not to happy with you.

Trump speaks a bunch of different languages , bullshit and more bullshit and throws in a whole bunch of lies ?

Okay, English isn’t Trump’s best language, but he’s fluent in Lies and BS! \n\n??? 2026! ???

Why did Canadians dislike this guy so much before all this? Because some Russian trolls on social media disguised as Canadians told them to? That's how we got Trump! It seems like they learned from our mistake. I hope they did. Look, all over the world, things are tough, post pandemic. It's not just your country. You can be patient as left leaning leaders use data and expertise to get things running again...OR you can elect these far right NUTCASES, AND MAKE A MESS THAT IS IRREVERSIBLE! DON'T TRUST THE FAR RIGHT! YOU ARE NOT IN THEIR CLUB. THEY WORK FOR THEMSELVES AND THEMSELVES ONLY, AND WILL TELL YOU WHATEVER LIE YOU NEED TO HEAR TO GET INTO OFFICE.

Everyone knows Trump lies. He responds to issues he creates.

I support Trump and I support MAGA. However a president needs to keep his word and Trump appears to have broken his word here. He asked Canada to reign in illegal immigration to the US and Canada complied. He said do something about fetanyl and Canada did. Trump said the tariff's were because Canada was not acting on these but now they have and we imposed the tariff's anyway. We look like liars and cheats. \nEven with Mexico we threatened tariffs if they didn't help with crackdown on illegal immigration, fetanyl, and drug cartels. Mexico complied and is also helping us. And we still slapped tariffs on them. We lied to Mexico too. \nAnd now we want everyone to trust us to negotiate a peaceful end to the Ukraine war with Trump threatening more sanctions on China and the EU. What the heck should they trust us and believe us after what we just did. \nWhen it comes to defining your character your willingness to keep your word overrules absolutely everything else. Our president gave his word that if these countries took certain actions there would be no tariffs. They did and now he slapped them both in the face with sanctions anyway. He broke his word. This is a dishonorable action. I hope it does not escalate from there. \nIf it was about promoting or building domestic industries, I think the Canadians could have helped us with that but now.... good luck now that bridge has been burned.

Much love, Trudeau, don't take Trump's awful actions lying down

NOTHING BUT LIES AND CRYING JUST LIKE ANY LIBERAL,.............GO TRUMP, LET IT ROLL...just wait for the elections and all will get fixed.

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

Trump doesn’t care about his own people let alone drug addicts, and why do we keep forgetting that he’s a pathologically lying criminal? Tired of politicians having to compliment the Emperor’s clothes for the sake of diplomacy

I didn't vote for him. I stand with Canada. I wish that they would impeach Trump. Everything Trump says is a lie.

It's not about fentanyl, it's about Russian access to the Arctic. Trump's interests lie there.

What does illegal drug dealing have to do with sudden tariffs on every day goods? Nothing! We can watch Trump becoming more and more insane at high speed.His methods: loudness , lies over lies, and blackmailing.

You mean Justin Trudeau‘s response not Canadians and certainly not mine. This is an underhanded way of taxing the people nothing more. Levy and tariffs against the United States in retaliation has little to no effect in a positive way but it will hurt Canadians in a big way Even more than Trump‘s tariffs will have you forgotten that our current trade deal that Trump hates so much was actually created and signed into love by him? Poilivre won’t help us either. I can pretty much guarantee you he’ll out the same way as Trudeau but he will throw you a bone in here and there and no, I am by no means liberal. I’m not conservative. I’m not NDP. I am a free singer. I am a Canadian and I am tired of politicians, bullshit lie cheat, steal. It’s all they know.

Soyboy didn’t say that to Trump AND he’s LYING.

trump wants your country , putin has promised it to be him and showed him how to gin up the fevour for an eventual invasion of your country. The fent is is an obvious ruse. Who knows what the next lie will be.

Trump's goal is to start an actual war with anyone who'll have it, including our closest neighbors and allies. The reason is that wartime presidents have more power and he doesn't care who stands in his way. He's going to use that power to detain journalists and jail political opponents ahead of the midterms claiming them to be traitors, then he's going to set himself up to run for a third term. If he succeeds, he'll have total control. Democratic leaders will be in jail, journalists will be silenced, and the national guard will forcefully search your home for any second amendments you might have lying around as they deliver our ballots at gunpoint. How do I know? Because that's what tyrants do. The US is in the midst of a political coupe and it's imperative that the situation be viewed from that paradigm. Drop any pretense that this administration is anyone's ally, they're not. They're a rogue administration attempting to seize total control of the US.

Not telling why Canada was imposed with 25% tariffs . President Trump told you Mr. Trudeau 30 days ago if you did not put your military on the border to keep illegal immigrants from crossing into the United States he would do this. So you were warmed! Do not get up there and lie! We voted for President Trump to close our borders cause when he campaigned he said he would and he's sticking to his promise.

I've been saying since Trump said that he's going to put tarrifs on Canada, that's going to hurt the US in the economy and jobs and well here we are..\n\nAnd to think that some people think Trump is doing a great job with all this, is mind boggling.. but I guess they can't see through his lies and stupidity.

He still tried to be nice by lying about Trump being smart.

After trump is done destroying the US and selling everything off to the highest bidder I hope Canadians consider absorbing Minnesota into your country. We love you here! Also, you don't have to lie about trump's intellegence. He's dumb as a stump. Thank you, Trudeau, for your leadership.

let this make sense, how are you still talking for Canada after stepping down. Lies about Russia to anger Trump

MEGA VOTERS AND THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR TRUMP RE-ELECTED. A CONVICTED FELON IS RUINING THE USA DUE TO HIS LIES. MAYBE JOE AND KAMALA SAID I TOLD YOU SO.???

We understand and do not blame Canada for any of the lies trump tells!! Will NEVER bend a knee to this traitor!!

The rest of the world is with you Canada and Mexico. We no longer stand with America. NEVER AGAIN. Until Trump is LONG GONE. And do not lie with Russia.

What i dont underatand is how i read so many angry posts like these on every news networks yet, how the hell did Donald Trump get elected???!! Or do we have so many gullible people in America who believed his lies and are now regretting voting for him?!

I’ve said it a million times. Waste of time to even reason with Trump communists and totalitarian ideas. Just ask anyone now who is 55 years old or older and grew up in - say - Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union. These commies will tell you anything … black is white, what you see it’s not what we see, it’s just not to be reasoned with. Exactly like the Canadian PM says, just trust him! They did all they had been asked to do and now the US gov says “no, you didn’t, no it’s not enough”. It’s a communist lie. If Canada did twice as much as needed, they would have said the same, lame lies. ? Lastly, this is all from the Soviet playbook, way before Putin and it’s still their “playbook”.

Trudeau is not a scumbag let somebody name starting with t and his cronies yeah they made a good deal and he broke it Trudeau is a real politician and he's for the betterment of his people and his neighbors Trump and his people or not I'm with you so I'm with Trudeau and all-americans who don't want a dictatorship I will not bow down to a self-made King with tin plated ego with delusional of God hood that go's for Elon also needer is not a good business man always had some one do it for them \n.that drug who owns ships qe all know Trump lies and musk??

Trump cannot hold Canada responsible for individuals who become addicted to drugs, overdose, and die. That responsibility lies with the country where these incidents occur, not with another nation. His comments don't make sense unless he is attempting to find a different excuse to jack Csanada up with the tariffs. Shame on you, Trump.

Trump told you to stop the fentanyl going over the border into America !! and you chose not to ,,, now there’s 25% tariffs you have yourself to blame. Simple as that. Half the stuff that comes out of your mouth is a lie.

It makes me wonder if it's A Hidden Trump Putin Plan. There is Lying to be elected but this is Beyond Lying. I think they need Impeached before we don't have a Country left. Because if Trump thinks Putin is going to share power anymore that him he is delusional .

I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!\nANOTHER LIE!!!

Why are you giving this lying piece of shit of a prime minister any airtime whatsoever I agree with the fact that Trump is going a little overboard with the tariffs but to listen to this guy nobody in Canada wants to even see this man's face so by you even putting it on there just basically makes your station that less credible

Cut the power off to the U.S. ?? and stop the 4 million barrels of oil going over the border put a stop to the Uranium going south no more Nickle or steel or Aluminum, Potash for their Farmers stop that also, the additional measures being considered will be painful and unfortunately the majority of Americans don't realize what's coming their way sure Canada ?? will feel pain also but we are standing up for what's right these tariffs is an unprovoked attack on our economy and you can bet Vladimir Putin ?? is smiling now knowing Trump can be compromised just look at what Putin ?? has managed to do so far he has manipulated Trump into alienating all his allies which has now happened you can bet that Vladimir Putin ?? is going milk this till he either succeeds in destroying the world ? view of the U.S.?? or manipulates Trump into telling him things he shouldn't to further his plans because if you think Vladimir Putin ?? does have a deck of cards up his sleeve you're nieve he has shook the hands of 2 dictators, Kim Jong Un ?? and Vladimir Putin ?? and has burned all his bridges with allies and you still think Russia isn't trying to interfere politically so it works to their advantage it already has. Hell he is ex KGB for crying out loud if that's not a red flag then the U.S.?? has more issues than I thought. How could Trump and his thugs attack President Zelensky ?? on live T.V. for the world ? to see how disrespectful, cruel, a total lack of compassion for a president who has had his country destroyed he's losing his people and that shirt President Zelensky was wearing was from a young girl back in Ukraine the U.S. ?? played Judge, Jury and executioner on live T.V. They are punishing President Zelensky for absolutely no reason by stalling aid to Ukraine his people are being slaughtered and they want Ukraine to give up territory and that's not acceptable under any circumstances Trump is trying to force President Zelensky ?? into a deal with Russia ?? by stalling aid. So let's punish people in a country that has been destroyed even more to force them into a deal with Russia ?? that would require Ukraine to give up territory absolutely not! Ukraine must remain in tact and return to its former glory ?? the United States of America ?? can no longer be trusted especially if they attacked their closest allies and insulted us continually did WW1 and WW2 mean absolutely nothing to the U.S.?? when Iran ?? took American hostages Canadians ?? worked tirelessly to devise a plan to get them back to the U.S. and succeeded in doing Just that the Canadians brought back the Americans safely. When 9/11 happened and Canada ?? took on thousands of passengers in Gander Newfoundland Canada ?? we opened our airspace and landed each and every one of them safely then when Americans couldn't get their medication, Gander gave it to them free of charge when Americans went shopping for clothes the stores gave it to them free of charge everything they needed was provided free of charge they were fed housed offered compassion and opened their homes so Americans could shower and clean up. So Canadians has always been there for the U.S.?? and this is how Canada ?? is repaid for its sacrifices made during both wars and other historical events that involved both countries ????? So if the world ? sees the U.S. attacking it closest allie for no reason and insulting Canada ?? at every turn and spreading complete lies about Canadians saying we want to be the 51 St State! No Canadians want that I can tell you, not for anything or any amount of Gold or currency would Canadians want to be part of the U.S.?? we'll the world ? has seen the 2 faces of the United States ?? now and you can bet the confidence in all aspects in that country will plummet! The ?? can't be trusted anymore.
