Appeasing Putin? Really Justin....and what's your plan, just keeping the meat grinder going? This child will just get more and more Ukrainians killed. Time to pursue peace. We know what this is all about. He just despises Trump. He doesn't really matter.

Keep in mind yesterday on youtube, there is talk of mr Trump being high on adderall and other drugs. White powder in Trump's nose from sniffing. Stuttering. Somebody has to get Trump 8n hospital and out of presidential office.

Keep your fentanyl in Canada. Thank you!

Trump is purposely destroying our country as we know it to pay back Putin for helping him win the election, keeping trump out of jail, and making available our coffers as trumps personal piggy bank. Trump is in bed with Putin. This is planned. Trump is a traitor and so are the people he has put in place in our government. I am heart broken but not about to give up.

USA born. USA small business owner. And I stand with Canada. Stay strong. And keep up the fight against our new USA king

Also, why do we have to pay to keep the US border secure? Doesn't the US have the largest military? I'd assume they have one of the largest police forces in the world, not to mention their large government agencies. Why not put some of that defence spending into border security? Why do we have to pay for it?

Keep whining Canada ???\nMusic to my ears

I hope you will do a better job keeping drugs from entering our country.

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.

Trumps tariff wars are smoke. What is his real agenda he wants to hide by keeping us busy with this?

Imagine voting for Trump over inflation while he was saying he would use tariffs and people thinking it wouldn't affect them. So naive. Trump is an agent of chaos who is anathema to everything this country stands for, and it's self-evident by his actions. We are a country who is strong because of our friends around the world and no one will trust this country when we keep putting an idiot in office who doesn't honor former president's agreements. You can't work with a country who won't stick to it's agreements. You wouldn't tolerate a friend like that, and this is the same thing on a macro level.

The fact Trump keeps referring to Trudeau as Governor already shows Trumps disregard for Canada…imagine call Trump Governor Trump???!!!

First: sorry for my bad english. It is not my First language. \n\nThis speech was remarkable. No lies, no BS, just the facts. Wish we would here the same out of the White House. \n\nAs a german who knows about german history and how everything started back then I'm terrified how fast the United States of America are moving towards a dictatorship.\n\nEvery politician around the free world should be worried about what is going to happen if DT keeps doing what he is doing, which is undermining every treaty and contract the US is having with the rest of the world.\n\nAnd on a personal note: as a child I always dreamed of someday moving to the USA. After beeing there on holiday in 2017 and also driving to Canada to visit some friends, that dream changed.\n\nDon't get me wrong, I still love your country, but you elected the worst President for the second time! WHY??? You could have known what it would be like, everything was reported on by this network and many others.\n\nAs one commentator said: this is not going to end well. And I and most of Europe and the rest of the world are thinking the same and we are afraid of the things to come.

Thank you PM Trudeau! Keeping it real!????

Keep talking out of your ass you are not dealing with the Democrats you are going to start something that you cannot finish and anybody who is against America can leave with the immigrants you are going to regret going against Trump good luck buddy

All we hear is how our government is saving so much money and now imposing higher tariffs, yet we’ll continue with the same tax deductions while struggling to keep up with the rising cost of everyday expenses. Meanwhile, politicians continue to tell us that this is America’s golden age?

It's not a tariffs war you Canadian Trudeau idiot... Donald Trump put a tariffs on you because Cartel's dnt Cross drugs through the border if you dnt do you side of the bargain to keep fentanyl by crossing from your side of the country.. helloooo how stupid can y'all be it's not a tariffs war get that straight.

As a Brazilian, i don't know why Canadians are still trying tho deal with America. It's clearly not a democratic government. Brazil and Canada has dealt for so long, it's time to increase this. Brazil is part of BRICS countries, but it doesn't mean it's not democrat. Why Canadians keep thinking about EU and EUA? So many things have happened and Brazil is now a strong partner. We support Canada against this betray of USA. We have been considered as USA backyard. But that is past. We did it, and now we are strong. Canada needs to open it's eyes to some other better future.

Always keep in mind it is the Republicans that did this, not the Democrats

why does she just keep repeating what he says ? why doesn't she shut up so we can hear the questions put to him ?

Mélanie barely keeping it together as Trudeau calls Trump by his given name = Priceless!

I didn't vote for Trump - all three times. Unfortunately, more than half of my countryman were either too stupid and/or too racist. The first Trump administration was not good. I fear that this time, it will be worse. Keep up the good fight, Canada!

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.

Crazy how the laws and societal pressures preventing us from speaking critically about our own president has forced Americans to rely on Canada to speak for them. Thank you Trudeau for keeping freedom of speech alive

With tariffs being an import tax set up to deter local business from buying outside the country, then why put tariffs on american goods save for the 25% that goes directly to the Canadian government ? When we could keep prices down for our businesses and imports, it just seens to bump prices up for the microcosm of businesses and puts money in the hands of our federal government, but directly takes money out of contractors,businesses and so on....\nIf there are no contracts for instance with energy flowing to NY, why not bump the price 5% or 10 % ....

Please keep in mind, that all the issues we have in Canada are because of Trudeau. He's been in power for almost a decade. The widespread drug abuse and crime is because of him being weak on policy and handing out drugs like candy paid by tax payers. More people died from fentanyl in Canada than our soldiers in WWII. That is all on his watch. He is only making these changes because of Trump. What kind of a leader is Trudeau to only become Canada first when a person from outside the country threatens him? He is a horrible leader and a traitor to the Citizens and the Country we call Canada. Regardless of what his speech is, he cannot be trusted with his globalist agenda. He has stepped down (thank goodness!!) and Canada is looking forward to having Pierre Poilievre as our PM.

Hahahaha.. This is the same Idiot. Who was telling Trump to drop Mexico in the Trade. And Keep Canada... Karma baby!

Lol this is hilarious. Keep crying because we Americans prop up your whole economy. Get wrecked . Lol Canada has done absolutely for the well being of America with allowing narcotics and illegal immigration . Your borders are only safe because AMERICA stands as a bullwork between your country and the majority of our hemisphere . Im sure this is done as a prep to annex Canada lol . Its literally a typical business hostle take over . It isn't going to hurt my feelings lol .

Why don't the gloves come off, and we all get to the obvious reality. Trump is doing all he possibly can to sabotage the USA. People need to actually say this out loud and not keep it hidden in the back of their mind. Every day it's becoming more and more clear that Trump is doing all he can to sink the USA, probably under Putin's orders. A foreign enemy agent is running the USA, this needs to be said in the open by everyone.

This man is not stupid he’s playing The people acting as if he’s tough and trump is inlove with Russia cause that’s all they have to stand on . And if Canada keeps on you will lose this trade war, we are 70% of your GDP !!

The Canadian government is there to serve its citizens. yo, merica - who have lost tons of jobs recently. How nice would that be if our country was there for you like theirs is for them? Keep watching what your ill deserved vote for FDT gets you. Less and less every fn day!!!!

As a Canadian Trudeau is a fool. He's one of the most hated, if not the most hated Prime Minister in history. He's a known liar and has acted like a dictator in this country over his tenure and continues to send OUR money to fight a war on the Ukraine that most Canadians have no interest in. It's funny reading Americans and people all over praising this guy. If you like him so much, you can keep him. Most people would he glad to be rid of Trudeau.

I've never been so proud of you Justin Trudeau! If I could, I'd vote for you today. I think you're the leader we need more than ever. Thank you for everything you've done for us.\n\nI'm scared as hell of what's to come, who will lead us. If the Conservatives gain power I'm afraid we will go the way of the US and its idiot in charge and what will become of the world...\n\nOur next election will matter more than ever. I hope as Canadians we come out in droves and vote for democracy and not sit at home and watch the Right win. I've never voted Liberal before, I've always supported the NDP. But this next election regardless of who is elected as leader for the Liberals I will vote for them to keep Poiliever out of office as that will be catastrophic. \n\nOnce again thank you for everything Justin Trudeau ❤️

Keep up the good fight Mr Trudeau you’re speaking for all of us!

No you just want to keep screwing us on trade for decades so we will deal with it you f'ing tool. I hope you shut down the electric its only hurting the blue areas anyways that are like you that most of us hate like new york. Love it your going to have inflation go out of control will love when the people wakeup and see that a loaf of bread cost you a wheel barrel of cash. We want our money back and tired of us paying and supporting the world.

Bull crap we have a deficit with them like 160 billion, until paid keep the tariffs going don’t you speak about that you guys are beating us by 160 billion

It makes a lot of sense Trudeau… when you think about who and what he is, including the sickophants around him… YOU ARE THE COMPANY YOU KEEP!???

I stand with Canada, MX, the UK and Europe! I will stay in the U.S. for now, but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say if Trump and Musk keep this up, I'm left with no other choice but to leave my country.

America gives Canada $300 billion a year. I think this guy can just keep quiet

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.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

I love you TRUMP.. keep up the great job

Trump is trying to end a war it’s not the same thing. We don’t need Canada if you haven’t been to America then you don’t know. We can make whatever you can make and better we can grow anything and more then you can just bc of regional weather. Canada is mad bc they make a lot of money off of us and trump is changing America and getting what it’s worth. America always pays more for imports and exports , why? and yet with out American people buying y’all’s stuff you your government will fall gotta keep last and for most gotta keep Canadian politicians payed as far as I know y’all haven’t had to worry about prices in y’all’s country. For years we have been paying more for stuff that should be made here or we pay less. Plain and simple we are getting what we are worth take it or leave. It will be funny when he cuts all exports from Canada it will take a little bit but we will compensate ans there gonna with they just took the 25% little saying over here is you never know what you got till it’s gon.

Can you adopt us? The US now has hostages ?Those of us who didn’t chose the orangutan and his gang are suffering and trying our hardest to fight back. We will keep fighting and uniting as much as possible ?? I deeply admire Canada and it’s people/ leadership.

Trudeau is a woke, no-good version of a modern dictator! Trump is a real leader! CNN keeps lying...

The FIRST direct address to the American People by ANY President lately... Keep on it Justin!!!

This just sounds silly. Y'all just wanna keep on cheating us. Good grief

Canada thank you for taking these actions. Despite our (disgusting) administration most Americans are with you. Keep up the good work.

I’m an American and proudly stand with the Canadian people ??Keep Resisting!
