You need to leave. You took away our freedom of speech and expression. CNN is a big lie. People in Canada didn’t forget what and how bad you treated us. Now you are playing trump card . You made Canadians poor . All you do is lie. Trump is working hard for his citizens and what about you.? Just get out and let’s have a better leader. I can’t believe I voted for you.

Its now official Canada has now given the US its cold front both from its trade and enviroment.

As an American, I’m going to need to move to Canada for the next 4 years!

The FACTS is that there is a HUGE drug problem in Canada worst than the USA! So Canada should STOP fentanyl by all means with a lot of people suffering from addiction

It's not about fentanyl... It's about annexation. Canada needs to find allies real quick.

From Australia ?? \nWe love Canada ?? \nAnd Support You

Teach the lesson, Canada. Our people need to learn the hard way apparently.

We don't want this either CANADA....not all of us are idiots that believe a bunch of false promises....some of us Americans know there's no winner in tariffs ...rather it's the consumers that lose most....there's better ways to earn Respect for our country

Let's get self-sufficient, Canada. Better late, than never. We have everything to achieve that. Great speech, PM Trudeau!

Canada met Trump's terms and he still screwed them, I don't blame them for retaliating. Losing allies and isolating us from the rest of the world is going to hurt everyone

This is how Trump is when he’s a president if he don’t get something then this is what he does to payback to other countries and even to other people in America however, he treats people in other country he would treat America just as bad. Trump is a dictator and evil and mean and a terrorist to our own country. Trump don’t give a crap about America. He only cares about himself. I’m with Canada and America to fight for our rights against Trump.

No body harm Canada and Canadian more than you

Can someone please tell Trump Canada is our friend. They have given lives in our wars. They are going to find other customers for their oil while our auto industry will be trashed. They will find other countries to buy their lumber while the cost of building American homes soars. It will be easy for Canada, Mexico and China to come out ahead in this trade war. Trump’s understanding of economics and international trade is at the sixth grade level- and not a very bright sixth grader. Finally where is Trumps plan to protect American families and workers? Where is the national resolve to work together to get through this?

Probably the most likable Trudeau has been in a long time. Good on Canada. I hope all countries stick it to Trump too. Bullying should never work

I agree, wtf Trump. I like the southern border being secured, but why throw Tariffs on Canada? Our ally.

Thanks Canada for standing up. Feeling worried for us here in USA.

OMG ??? The U.S Government has really fucked up with Canada!!! This is your fault, Trump, you made it bad for everyone I hope that u r happy and able to sleep at night. The moment Trump came into office, it was going to be trouble for the country ?

Thanks sir and thanks to everyone supporting Canada

That is my prime minister so much respect for you... canada is worth dying for.. we will not be bullied by Donald

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau! Canada stands strong and free. Thank you to all the supporting comments for Canada, appreciated so much❤️??????

From Indonesia ?? we stand with Canada ?? well said Prime Minister Trudeau ??

1st generation immigrant who has lived both in Canada and the US here. I have to, it's a shame, it's a shame that the US elected such a leader. He is breaking trusts built up in the last century between allies. Shame!

Respect Canada from Philippines

Yet today Trudeau said that there was no illegal immigrants crossing from Canada to the United States dude is such a lying ass b****

I believe that once we get everything on line, we can weather out the storm. What does Canada have that we don't have? All we want is a fair deal. We have endured the burden of ensuring the safety and economic development of our allies. They have all benefitted, and it is time for them to offer some relief while Trump works on our problems back home.

Wow an eloquent leader speaking the truth. Oh imagine if we had a leader like this. Canada, please forgive the US for the crap storm we created.

Donald Trump just wants Canada and Mexico to do his job for him.

Ha ha. All Canada has to do is proceed to join BRICs . This will panic USA to back down fast.

God Trudeau go Canada brilliant speech ? ? \nFrom Australia ??

We have three individuals (manager and engineers)who left Canada. I asked what's going on? Answer: the current leader(ship) is full psychobabble and does not give a SHIT about Canada's people!!! Turdeau, the only thing you have done is SHIT on Canada and its people!!!!!!!!!

Can I ove to Canada now ??????????????????????????????????

This current regime is transmuting Trump's anger at the whole world into punitive measures. Tariffs will raise inflation, bullying and fingerwagging gratuitous. To use fentanyl and human trafficking and illegal border crossings as an excuse is chicken. Canada accommodated US by setting up commissions to combat each. So...what is the real schtick here? He is gonna alienate everybody but Putin.

The close relationship between the US and Canada has ended. We have to do more than stop buying alcohol, much much more. This was never about fentenal Trump just wants to take over our country. He wants to be another Putin and yes he called him Donald, just like Trump called him in a demeaning way as Justin or Governor Trudeau. Payback is a bitch

Just remember one thing, Mr. Trudeau.\n The governments of Canada, Mexico, China have been screwing America for years, and now that's gonna stop.

As an American I stand with Canada and F@$K TRUMP!

At this point they should just watch as the United States implodes on itself. The funny thing is just a couple weeks ago he seemed so confident that Canada was going to sign as the 51st.

Sad moment this is controllable by your head of govt . US and Canada should be work hand in hand . The Decision is bad for everyone in North America

His girlfriend is running foreign ministry of Canada, both of them targeted India big time just because India took out some of the Khalistani terrorists on Canadian soils.

Canada- Strong today-Stronger Tomorrow!! Never been prouder to be Canadian. Thank you PM Trudeau!!!

Canada and eu has national healthcare they afford that by having the us pick up the tab

I really like the way that he said about he's not going to sugar coat anything and he spoke so clearly to inform Americans what is truly going on with what Trump is doing to this country and Trudeau is telling people the truth just like the leader from North Korea. When you get leaders who barely rare give speeches then you know that they are not bull sh**ing about what they are talking about, but Trump is doing that and he's going to destroy people's lives in America and he's going to destroy America. Why would he turn a country (Canada) who's been there for America into an enemy and that's because he doesn't care about the country and they don't have what he wants and all he cares about is money and power, so know he just turned a country Canada into an enemy, WTF IS HE THINKING ABOUT CLEARLY NOT PEOPLE IN AMERICA!

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.

We don’t want this, either. He’s not our president. He stole the election and lied to his minions. We are sorry and we understand. We still love you, Canada. ?? ❤ we will still be here when he is dead and gone. We wish we had a good, polite leader.

Australia stands with Canada. The U.S has been infiltrated completely by Russia, and we should treat it as such.

No body believes that Putin is a killer in comparison to Canada. You are accomplice in killing of millions of non white people in Iraq Libya Afganistan and many other places.

Figured you'd be on CNN we don't need anything from Canada you need us thank you Donald Trump now maybe our country will start making everything we need like it used to be

This grade b drama teacher has no legimacy to speak on behalf of Canada. Call an election!\nOPEN THE PARLEMENT !

As a Taiwanese, I condemn Canada for whining like a baby. We have already received enough benefits from the United States in the past. Now, the whole world must unite around Taiwan and the United States to counter the growing threat from China.

Born and raised in Canada here, 64 years old... American stuff is all over the place in this country... my Bosch D/W and washing machine are both made in USA... heck even our toilets are American Standard... and simultaneously we supply USA and ROW with high quality products that meet or exceed ASTM standards... so please do let us know how that Russian aluminum and steel works out because everything I've every seen from Russia is a fucking joke... there's absolutely nothing in my life that say Proudly Made in Russia because only the oligarchs are proud to be Russian.

1:28 Did he just say, “non-tariff measures”, as in military action or something like that? Because if Canada wants to try that, Come And Take It.
