I think it's wrong with United States doing. Bowling in Canada.. what's the dumbest thing he can do to our neighbor Canada that's been with us for many years had our backs and War and hard times in our history. I just think it's wrong what they're doing to Canada.. Donald Trump is very stupid..!!

I get all the commentary lifting Trudeau up but when i heard that he is like on his last couple of days of his term i couldn't help but feel that noone so far anyways has come out and let lose with the hard hitting, proper Grammer and clean nice language be dammed, no not anyone to speak to this wannabe hard guy which this guy absolutely is not - trust me , and i get it he is 80 years old, but if you watch him in his 60s and 50's and going back to his youth he never could bust a grape; just all bluster , daddy's money, and when it came time to pay some rent .. he'd pay someone else to do it. A coward thru and thru.

Even on his way out with many Canadians not satisfied with him(times were hard)endured public and private harassment from CANADIANS(even BC?),THIS MAN is still eloquently PROTECTING his Country!!!

America......no offense, but I can't wait to complete bridging trade relationships with the EU, Japan, and China. All of these in recent months started discussions on major trade deals, which could eclipse the trade we do with the US.\n\nI'm sick of this sht from a country rotting from the basement up. \n\nBTW I hear Nebraska going bankrupt because their workforce is made up of 70% of undocumented immigrants....Nebraska is a total trump state...lolrtf.\n\nCanada may hit hard times, but Americans DO NOT KNOW or truly understand us.\nOur connection is deeply rooted in decency and has for hundreds of years. \n\nHow will the world ever trust the US with integrity or honor when it breaches its own agreements.\n\nI believe the US will likely be damaged beyond repair from this antichrist.

I am sorry for the citizens of the States what they are going through in these hard times.

As a Mexican man, I must say this is the kind of speech I like to hear from a leader. Such a great selection of words, diplomatic and strong at the same time.\n From this side of the continent, the response of Mrs. president Sheinbaum was a little more cautious, at times lukewarm. She said countermeasures will be taken, but they will be announced next Sunday at the Zócalo, the central plaza here in Mexico City, which she asked people to crowd. \n We're definitely living hard times. The only thing I hope is this political hatred does not reflect on the common people when treating their foreign fellows. We are allies, not enemies.

Love all the support, from a proud Canadian! To the American people, we still love and respect all of you! Even the ones who want to annex us and call us a 3rd world country even though it’s hard in these times

WWCDD? I just hope we all remember the hard times we have had to go through together, the exploitation of white males going blackface will never be overlooked. Justin we stand with you (as an American), I am willing to overlook your blackface picture. Yes, you have made some horrible decisions but that doesn't mean we are not with you! We will get through this together!!!!!

And just for the record, I was hoping to get a few hours of paid work at the liquor store and now this just might be a game changer you know? So hard to get a job in this country… I suppose it depends on what kind of species of canine you are… Last time I was a bulldog I got flipped after six months of work. Sucks balls.

If you are an American citizen and you are siding with Canada, you are a TRAITOR!!! As an American, a woman of African descent and an immigrant, I 100% understand why my President has taken the hard but necessary decisions that he took. It is time for other citizens of the world to realize that the USA is NOT HEAVEN, and America is NO SANTA CLAUS!!! This country has wayyyyy tooo many problems to continue with the foolish foreign and economic policies that we have pushed in the past...CNN it is about time you start speaking truth!!!

From France, hard to understand how these two countries are going into such a fight. It’s like a family fight between brothers. American friends, it’s Time to realise you elected a dangerous guy who obviously has too much confidence on doing dumb thîngs, and clearly is not qualified to act as a gentleman or just being a reasonable president. Canadian cousins, France will always stand behind you..

Trump is trolling the world very hard. \nEveryone keeps falling for it. We know his play: Distract. Distract. Distract. \nIt's all show and no go. But as before, in his last term, there is a time limit to his fecklessness.

all you people,, this is what cheats and crooks do,. talk sweet on the camera,, but do not do any work which effects your daily lives. Trump is not those people,, his action speaks louder than words,, the time to rip america off is over,, america will prosper now,, free money and aid is gone now,, all you countries,, work hard to earn your wages now,, nothing is going to be a handout,, america is no more your grannys shop.

As a Canadian. We are already having a hard time im Ontario. Trudeau needs to focus on the rent prices, house prices, drug problem, car theif and FSRA that is costing canadian lots of money

We are fighters and we will weather this. I am an American. This isn't the first time we've had hard times to go through. We will do it for the good of our country. It won't lash that long. God Bless America!@

This guy is lying so hard lol. Immigrants were coming in from your own country to America. America needs to start making our own stuff!! We been buying from everyone for years, but time to change that!!!!

That’s right stand up for your country president Trudeau. Donald Trump is a big ass liar. I have been to Canada several times. And I know for a fact it’s gonna be very very very very hard to bring drugs up out of Canada to United States. Canada is a wonderful lovely country. You’re doing right not to deal with a evil man. He’s just using the Tarniff law to try to put extra money in his pocket and they trying to con the other countries out of their money.Lying to the American people make them think it’s another reason why he’s doing the Tarniff law . He’s a habitual liar, and a con man and a thief.I wouldn’t do no business with him at all he cannot be trusted. If a man will betrade his own country he will betrade anybody. Who ever in United States they pick up a gun or try to hurt the Canadians any kind of way it’s a damn fool. In the truck started a war with Canada with him in office I would rather fight for Canada then fight for him

President Trump has balls and is playing hard ball with Canada! Time to stop screwing us over! And you should be taking to our government, not the American people, WE STAND BEHIND OUR PRESIDENT!

Justin, I will try to make this make sense for you. President Trump is trying to stop you from taking advantage of the US, 'the closest partner and ally.' At the same time, he is trying to prevent people from being killed. Is that really so hard for you to understand??

I’m in Buffalo too Wolf, many of our independent shops import from Toronto. I could have never imagined a president of ours attacking our great neighbors in Canada. Trump has brought shame and hard times on us all.

Mr, Trudeau prime minister, I am glad that you are standing up to trump do what is right for your country do not allow this, man child trump push you around, stand up take a stand do what is right what is just, your people who voted for you deserve it, show the world ?? that integrity, honestly and the rule of law still matters, let the world see trump for what he is, and I say to the other leaders do not be afraid to do the right thing, a good leader loves his people a good leader protects it's people , silence ? at this point in time is not acceptable, when you see tyranny speak up i asked my father ounce what makes a man, i could see in his face that he was thinking about this question very hard and he turned and looked at me and said, a man will stand up for what he believes in,no matter the price, and a real man will always protect those that can't protect themselves, for this is the mark of a real man and gentleman, i have never forgotten those words that he spoke to me, and I believe that this saying also has religious implication as well, after everything is said and done it's not the voters that are going to judge you in the end it's god and he is going to judge you on his standards not MAGA

I'm from Poland. What terrible times we have come to live in... The world we knew is ending, and new alliances are forming. It doesn't have to be the European Union—let it be a UNION OF THINKING PEOPLE, a WORLD UNION OF GOOD WILL PEOPLE. \nCanadians, Americans - you are strong and smart enough (at least half of Americans who didn't vote for Trump) Please, don't give up, fight hard! \n\nUkraine + part of the EU + Canada + Mexico (Greenland/Denmark, Australia, Japan, who's next?) - we can survive without the USA, Russia, and their “minions”. \nWe here in Europe also have Putin's allies - Orban (Hungary), Fico (Slovakia). \nHowever, despite everything, I sincerely believe that decent Americans will bring the impeachment of “Orange Man” as soon as possible. Before he leads his country into hyperinflation and crisis...

From a Canadian citizen.\n\nExcellent speech, nice presentation with sugar coating, but the taste?\nHowever Trudeau is not telling the Truth about the Fentanyl of less than one ounce coming through the border?\nHow about Oil, Lumber and other minerals trades?\nThe USA has ten times more than what Canada have.\nWhat about border protection? Canada invested in two helicopters and many drones with thousands of land miles and the same on water to protect?\nThe cartels are much smarter than Trudeau borders policing, because they've already installed thousands of infiltrators throughout Canada to deliver any drug amount to the USA.\nAnd calling the president by his first name?\nTrudeau is taking Canada to another level, lower than we've seen or felt, because he's not a politician and not a businessman.\nFor last.\nThe notion that our lower level of politics still uses the word FIGHT instead of making a DEAL.\n\nAnd their old ways of saying, WE ARE WORKING HARD.\nINSTEAD OF WORKING SMART.\n\nMy opinions.

I think Americans are going to have to learn the hard way that we voted in a terrible man who is even more unrestrained than the first time. The best outcome of this lose-lose situation for Republican voters is to feel the financial pain of Trump's actions. Maybe it can disillusion his cult following of heedlessly surrendering their voting power to him. With enough opposition pressured on Republicans in Congress, they may finally find a backbone and stand up for all Americans while the Democrats twiddle their thumbs.

Respect from Australia, this is exactly what Canada should do, stand up to this bully. I don't think you should bother trying to negotiate with him, Trump is a liar and a fool and talking to him is a waste of time, he's too stupid to understand. When the US slaps you, slap them back. I sincerely hope to see Mexico respond in the same way, slap Trump back twice as hard.\n\nIf the US wants to go kissing Putins ass, go on, but don't try to force the rest of us to kiss his ass with you.\nIf the US wants to find savings in government #DefundElonMusk a filthy rich man receiving government aid, he's sucked up $38 billion, that's government waste in the extreme.

As an American, I hope these countries go as hard as they see fit in their retaliations. I want maga to feel what they voted for, and they will, just give it time. DT is a joke.

I hope EU will be also that smart and strong when Trump will set the tariffs here. I mean with words and actions, like in this polite but also strong and honest speech. We are with you and also Mexico and I hope we will become closer allies than we already are! We need each other in this hard times against russia and it seems also against trump.

From Germany: All my thoughts and love to the Canadians and US citizens, who did NOT vote for Trump. There will be hard times come to us. Let´s stay together.

I am an American and I stand for America!!! Time for American politicians that we vote into office to take care of America and not get sucked into taking care of our countries around the world with American citizens hard earned tax money, NO MORE - MAGA (MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a Canadian, we have a massive piece of land and small population.\nWe should be friends with everyone. Never pick sides.\nTo look into history, U.S never be friends with anyone. They are only friends with money!\nI don't go against the Americans, but we also have to take care of our own economy.\n\nTrump just find an excuse to blame Canada so he can tariff the Canadian. We never do things to harm our neighbours. \nI spent thousands of dollars every year in Vegas and have multiple times shares there, but they chose to put a rope on us!\n\nI don't go against Russia and China either because we all have one common goal, that is a better life for all and there's nothing wrong with it!\n\nDon't worry too much about Trump, he is old and likes to show the world that he is powerful before he is gone! \nCanadian will ride through good and bad times. We all have to work together because we are hard working Canadians!

I called the Canadian embassy in Washington DC this morning. I told them as an American citizen. It saddens me and breaks my heart that we are treating our allies with such disrespect. I do not stand with the United States government and their treatment of our allies. I also called the Mexican embassy and told them the same thing. I didn’t announce Trump in his cabinet and what they’re doing to our economy that we have worked so hard to resurrect again after he was president last time. I, urge every person who does not agree with what is going on to call the Canadian and the Mexican embassies and just let them know that we stand in solidarity with them and against our government here!

Hard to believe that some people in the world do not want freedom, peace, friends, and happiness, and we let the so called leaders ruin our world that we all have a short time on this beautiful planet. Canada will survive, we will never give up our country. Thank you Mr.Prime Minister for being yourself and truthful and letting the world know. Thank you from all around the globe for your support.

It's so hard to understand him with his points presented in concise short sentences, him staying on one topic at a time, and him presenting i all in an organized and sequential manner.?

This is sad Canadian people don't deserve this American people don't deserve this Primeminster Trudeau good address to your people and the American people Keeping it real hard times for both countries ahead

Unfortunately having a hard time listening... She's so beautiful..

I have a hard time listening to a man who put his own party before Canadians.

What would be interesting to know is how trade between Canada and Europe explodes, Europe would like all the oil and gas and rare earthminerals Canada has, so would China, if for nothing other than to prevent Americas access to it. I think trump and musk think russia will supply rare earth minerals on the cheap, but Russia is about to collapse again and various regions break away as they did last time, but this time is much worse than back then, Russia really could cease to exist and America will not benefit at all, Europe China India Mongolia will benefit. Russians hate america more than Americans hates Russia, America has been prosperous, while 40% of Russians don't have running water or electricity, yes the big cities and towns in the west are better off but most of Russia does not even have paved roads.\n\nTrump is backing his banker, and everyone knows it, pootin is using trump, very clearly shown when he set up President Zelensky in that ambush.\n\nEurope China and other countries will be in line to sign trade deals. I think it was clever of Trudeau to say what he did. And to set a few months before the massive cuts in trade with America as what the rapist president is doing, what republicans are doing will be biting very hard by then, and Canada cutting trade at that time will be possibly the straw that breaks trump.

Hard times coming

I have a hard time taking this guy seriously after what he has done to his own country.

?? USA i said this at the very start you on you way to hard times.

I feel bad for the American people, I have friends there and they have a hard enough time as it is. This just makes me sad. I also have friends who have died due to fentanyl, fix our border on both sides, damnit. And catch these assholes who are killing both our countries citizens.

Good job Justin. There's nothing else you could have said or done. The problem as I see it, is that responding in kind to Trump like this is possibly to invite an invasion, justified by Trump claiming that Canadian assets are essential to US national security. It's hard to parse the provocation from the US as anything less than a pretext to eventually try and annexe Canada. Maybe Russia will attack the Baltics at the same time. It's becoming increasingly obvious that the US Government is no longer a friend to the free world.

I cant ? say American government going to be there for us. During these hard times.

43% of GenZ want to become the 51st state. A significantly higher figure want to move to the US.\nLets be clear here, the loyalty is only to the Canadian people right now. There is absolutely ZERO loyalty over this colonial puppet state that only became a thing in the 1980's, and has utterly failed its population for the past DECADE.\nThey (quite litterally I may add) would rather see us OD on the streets than have a 3% reduction in housing. \nEvery 25 year old I know, are living with their parents despite having 6 figure jobs.\n\nWe Canadians beat our chest and act hard when the US says this, but we turn a blind eye to Chinese/Indian/Iranian foreign influence and extrajudicial killings. The fact our own people are threatened and killed by foreign governments is insane. But the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in being everybodys doormat while rejecting integration with the US, is insane. \n\nWe litterally have avoided MULTIPLE recessions because the US has bailed us out time and time again. notably in 2021. Were in the G7 only because of the US.\nOur GDP also litterally collapsed in 2015, and were only drudging on by because the US helped us along. They dont want to do that anymore.\n\nCanada is dead, and our economy is dead. I have no loyalty to a government that wants me either dead or a slave to make money for BOOMERS. \nI would be a BOOTLICKER if I was to support the Canadian government.

Trudeau has been importing Indians in millions which is contributing to rent increase, housing unaffordability, wage stagnation, skyrocketing unemployment. Younger or high school students are finding it hard to find a part time job at local restaurants because all those jobs are occupied by Indians. I guess bring third world, become third world wasn’t so wrong after all.

Some people have such miserable lives they need to give the pizza delivery guy a hard time.

We are still in the good times making weak men. The hard times have not even started yet, but they are coming.

You are in Canada and you deliver pizza.... \nSociety: wow hard working guy. \n\nYou are in India and deliver food.\nSociety: delivery Wale nee time pe deliver nahi karti yar. Isske liye too paisa dethe hee ham. \n\n\nWow ????\nDouble standard f@#$ers.

I hope Trump blocks all government funding to these sanctuary cities. Stop the flow of tax dollars going to illegals and help actual Americans that fell on hard times and need a help up, not a hand out!

GO HOME !!! FIGHT HALF that hard for your own country and you will have a nice place to live just like we fought for ...we cant take more ....canada is in same boat ....you have sunk our country so low that our kids and grandkids will NEVER own there own homes ...time for change
