Canada needs a new leader. Trudeau will never beat Trump. Our president is the most powerful and influential human being on planet Earth, and Trudeau is like a leader in training, with no business acumen whatsoever. Canada cannot exist without American dollars circulating through it.

Canada's Gavin Newsome ?

Poland with Canada ❤

Let's just stop this shit since when do we have issues between the US and Canada? Why is this happening? Please stop Donald this can't end good ?

Is he still the PM of Canada, I think he has resigned ????

Lots of emotional response here. I also feel that Canadians are our brothers and sisters of the USA. But removing the emotion, Canada isn't holding the cards. This nonsense will hurt Canada far more than the US.

Mr. Tiptoe can shove it. Trump didn't start this trade war, Canada has been tariffing USA for decades. The whole world does... Starving out the one country that actually has freedom. Freedom to kick out government when it becomes corrupt and against the people. The western side of Canada is more than welcome to stop subsidizing the east, and pay like half the taxes. Instead of stars we will throw a couple maple leafs on it and call it a day.... In the interest of international security.

We as Americans ❤ Canada!!! I hope Donald you rethink!!!

God bless Canada. USA please make it right. Thank you.

Canadian here ????????!! To any Americans reading this comment, my disgust over this whole tariff situation is not on the USA, it’s not Americans, IT’S TRUMP!!! Period!!! There is no doubt millions of you are very angry and embarrassed about what he wants to do. I want our 2 nations to be friends and allies forever. Any animosity between us is just extremely pointless. \n\nI want to thank the Americans who are wishing Canada and us Canadians the best and who are totally against what Trump wants to do!!!

Resist! The Democratic Party Depravity there on Epsteins list like Canadas media and American media.

They just threatened Greenland. They will invade Canada so you need to lock and load. Trump is nuts.?

Proud of my Prime Minister. Handling the situation like a champ. Thank you Americans for supporting Canada, we support you as well and I sincerely hope that we will be able to solve this. Donald is such a shame for the whole world… unreal.

To the Canadian people: I will look out and specifically purchase Canadian goods over American goods as a sign of disagreement with the American President. Mr. Trump is only out for HIMSELF! Most Americans know this. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but I'm starting to believe that Russia DID interfere with our election, and Trump is that result! I'm utterly DISGUSTED with what they're doing. I stand with UKRAINE ?? and with Canada ?? as well as all our Allies! We need to impeach that Maggat in the Oval!

Trudeau does not represent Canadians. He has had a minority government for years. Trudeau was finally forced to resign months ago. He should not be speaking on our behalf. He suspended parliament and refuses to call an election. No decision / agreement can be made re. Tariffs, etc. because technically we have no leadership right now. Tariffs have been threaten for months, and the Liberals have made no moves to do what’s right for Canada. He is using this as an opportunity to regqin power. He is not a man of the people.

We are canada ??

I’ve never been to Canada I’ve always wanted to go visit. I’m from CT in the USA born and raised here. I’m ashamed of our government rn we must be the laughing stock of every other nation for all the INSANE EXECUTIVE ORDERS ONE AFTER ANOTHER WITH NO REAL INTENTIONS OR PLANS THAT WILL IMPROVE ANYTHING FOR THE USA! All while “Selecting” billionaire elites into prominent positions of power & these ppl have no background knowledge or experience whatsoever for the positions that they’re being selected for!! The whole world has gotta be laughing at us in the USA because this is insanity over here now!!!

Sorry Canada we got stuck with the worst president of all time, Canada our ally, partner and great neighbor hast to deal with him. Hope this next 4 years will pass quick and our relationship go back as normal and friendly as before.

Thought he was resigning??? Must take a long time in Canada for a politician to actually resign

Stand strong against the petty bully, Canada ?? \nWe all support your country.

Find out what pain Canada has planned for the future tariffs. Unplugged, no oil, no metals and no wheat. Good luck shivering in the dark.

As an American, I stand with Canada. We have the biggest dumb ass bully as our president and it’s shameful. The people who voted for that orange turd can suffer. It’s so dumb to impose tariffs on our closest allies. Ordinary Americans will suffer because of this.

Trudeau is 10X the man and leader than Trump. The contrast is real. Canada we stand with you against this moron as he drags the US into an economic freefall which could very easily result in millions of lost jobs, increased cost of goods - including gas, market items, cars, lumber and more. A tariff is a tax on Americans. Trump is planning on using those tariff dollars to help offset the actual tax cut for the billionaires. Tuck Frump. Resist the ignorant fool.

Go Canada ??

Please know that not all Americans back our felon in chief. I don't understand how he got back in office, but I'm proud of Canada for standing your ground. Don't give in to him!

Where does Russia and Putin come into Canada's squabbles with the US?

Brave, bold, justified and resonable response from Canada. Weldone.

Oh well! Looks like Canada is soon to be america’s 51st state then Russia’s new Province!

Total support to Canada ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ? ? ❤️ ? ? ?? ?.

Now imagine if Trudeau led Canada like this his entire Prime Ministership, this is like dirty dog calling another dirty dog a filthy animal.

Trudeau has had his up and downs in Canadian politics over the years, with the ever present divide between Conservatives and Liberals here in Canada, but one thing is for sure, he's a true statesman, who speaks with wisdom from the heart, and for that is respected around the world. Trump would be smart to take notes from Trudeau, a man with considerably more skill, etiquette and experience in the field of political leadership, both hear at home, and on the world stage.

American from North Carolina here. 100% support for Canada's reaction. Many of us can't wait for this utter nightmare to end.

I have not always been a fan of Trudeau, but I have to give it to him today. You spoke with care, adressing the issues and standing up for Canada amidst this hard time. You deserve a standing ovation. Thank you Justin. I am a proud Newfoundlander, but also Proud Canadian. Hoping that hopefully Trump will choose to work with us not against us. All of us on this continent need to work as one, helping all our neighbors.

Brilliant speech! Much love and respect to Canada and Canadians and their response! From your neighbor in Washington state.

I am American, and I feel deeply ashamed with the hostility our own leadership is showing against our best friend in Canada

fentanyl crisis and tariffs just tools for a dictator to force canada to bow down and be 51st state.

Stand with canada and Ukraine

I visited Canada and loved it. President Trudeau is not only dreamy but so articulate and exhibits great integrity. Why can’t USA find a president like him. I just don’t get it. ??

I will pray for Canada ?? ?? I also pray for people in USA ?? We all will suffer by the hands of Trump and Musk. We voted for Kamala. We did not want him. ??????

CANADA WOULD BE BETTER OFF JOINING AMERICA THAT WOULD LOWER THEIR TAXES & BE PROTECTED BY THE CONSTITUTION THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE

I do not know if tariffs or Trump's actions are the correct thing to do. But why can't the USA do 25% tariffs, if Canada has 65% tariffs on the USA? Why is Canada demanding the USA support them? Someone please explain it to me. And Trudeau could have picked up the phone and called Trump, this speech was not meant to solve anything. What is so brilliant except to heighten rhetoric and tension? Someone needs to be a grown up but going on CNN and insulting Trump isn't the way.

Yeah! Justin Yeah Canada! After “ our government “ get through taking us down, maybe we can be the next province???

I promise you Canada is going to feel it worse than us we have the resources it’s just people don’t want to work America has everything we need!!!

He’s made Canada weak just like Biden did to USA

I am American and I stand with Canada.

Lol booooo, boooo Canada

Because canada became woke. Because of you Trudeau.

Go Canada!!!! we all stand with you well done. So now Tariffs from Canada and China, next will be Europe and Australia will stop all imports from the US Hopefully, Trump will cause a recession on the world

CNN reporters are just so annoying and frustrating to hear. Props to Justin, this man knows his shit. We stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine, and with all the Americans that did not sign up for this lunatic!! From EU.

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.
