Quit a few "asylum seekers" are full of shit or are running from the consequences of their own shitty actions.

Good the more immigrants that leave the better it will be for Canada they come here for a better life for safety for this for that they're all set up by the government giving houses cars don't have to worry about nothing it's all provided for them through the taxpayers money well the real Canadians are living out on the streets and eating out of garbage bins I don't have a bed or a roof over their heads due to the immigrants coming into our country then they come into our country in protest terrorist actions destroy our buildings are statues our churches block our streets hospitals shopping malls an etcetera they disrespect our rules and regulations and think they can voice their opinion on everything and get away with it they come here most of them with a green card as a visitor from another land overseas and yes they think they're a real Canadian but never contribute never done nothing for the country but just take from the real Canadians that made the country to what it is today and it's all government doing before they give a house or car or anything that they get the immigrants get if you're standing alongside of one peppermint will give it to the immigrant faster than what they'll give to a real Canadian they're more or less told to sleep on the streets and eat out of garbage bins because he's immigrants deserve nothing but the best in our country we have to show them that they are welcomed no they're not welcome anymore Canadian should come first not somebody that came in on a boat or an airplane from another country and overseas it's a government can't look after their own then they shouldn't be in the government because our prime minister is supposed to be protecting the real Canadians not the ones that are coming in over our borders I wonder if that's ever going to change probably not because they still need these foreigners votes just stay in the position where they're at Canada has become a very undeveloped country now in Canada has been put into a lot of danger due to the terrorism that's in our country from the people that they bought in our country from overseas I mean just look at all the protesting from the palestines and Hamas people what they've done so far to Canada we see it on the news just about every day ask for their rights anyways I can keep going on but it's not worth my time tomorrow is never promised it's just that I know Canada is sinking and sinking fast due to our government and their policies but when it sinks do you think the government's going to stand on board and go down with the ship nope I'll be in another country safe and sound

Too bad nobody respects him otherwise it would’ve meant something. He’s always been all talk and no action, hence why he’s resigned and nobody even cares. Maybe in his first year he did anything at all for Canada but since then he’s just stolen Canadian money for himself.

Question to you Mr Prime Minister is this, why did you wait till Trump resumed before taking measures to curb this drug inflow? Why should the Americans trust these measures? Would these measures be sustained? Why should America trust you? Also, why did the Democrats and biden take action? I stand with trump and I guess you two leaders should meet on this again to relax the trade war.

USA is no longer aligned with democratic nations, it is with the autocrats. It's the dawn of a new world order. Glad Trudeau spoke to Donald in the way he did. To be clear. This is how a narcissist acts. He does not respect those who are closest to him - he does not care about allies and connection, he sees these folks (and nations) as weak - he is about control and domination. Narcs do this in their personal lives. And if you are not weak and don't bend to his will, they will unleash their actions to control - and if they have the power (and the prez is the most powerful person in the world) they will have all the power at this disposal and will not stop until they achieve their aim, destruction be damned. And that is why it was so dangerous to let Dump go without accountability. His deluded self thinks he's an unmitigated genius and he's the top of the food chain. For him it's blaring green lights all the way in his polluted mind. Dump 2.0 is unchecked now, so he is unleashing the narcissism disease upon the world.

How can anyone listen to you after your BS covid policies + actions you took against your people? Go use one of your ‘pods’ you have up there. Total joke of a leader, welcome to the USA, Canada ?? ?? ??

Keep talking, and never put into action.....

In the case of high treason, i.e. treason against the interests of the people of the country. Who came to power? A man who thinks not about the interests of the US people, but about the interests of a handful of billionaires, including political circles in Russia and China. The war against Ukraine is just the tip of the iceberg of the war of the ruling dictatorships of the Russian Federation and China against the poor strata of the people of their own countries, against Western civilization and the US and the EU as a part of it. This is clearly seen in the propaganda against human rights and freedoms in these countries, the destruction of trust between people. What to do in this case? Wait until the US as one of the foundations of modern civilization is destroyed by short-sighted supporters of anarchy, monarchies and psychopathic dictators who do not respect other people's borders and treaties? Doesn't Trump's actions contradict the basic principles of the US and Western civilization? The United States is a country of democracy, humanism, human rights and freedoms, a country that has become home to the world of many people who have improved the quality of life of billions of people all over the planet. Question: When will the current US President/poppet of dictatorships be impeached?

Gee…what a surprise! ….NOT! \nThe most toxic person in the world who LOVES to create chaos & division has stirred up a bees nest in countries all around the world. That’s what Trump does. Chaos, division, hard feelings & bitterness are his forté. \nThat’s the leader America has chosen over someone with common sense, intelligence, & who would have tried to unite the American ppl & create an economy that would be stable & help the majority of Americans because Kamala IS like the majority of Americans. She understands the struggle of trying to making a living when you’re not born into wealth like Trump was.\nHe can’t relate to the struggles of the average American family trying to earn enough to provide for their families. He’s never known that struggle. \nAnd why should he care if he causes ppl on both sides of the border to lose jobs, & consequently lose their homes? He’s rich. He can afford the higher costs of everything in both countries that he is initiating. He chose this trade war because he wants to take over Canada. \nWhat is wrong with Americans who thought voting him in AGAIN was a great idea over the common sense & economic stability Kamala Harris offered? He TOLD you he was going to do this. \nYou ppl who voted for him KNEW his past history. He’s a proven liar, a cheat, a fraud, a scammer, a sexist, a predator of vulnerable women, & a convicted felon..\nAnd more than anything else, he’s a BULLY! He uses his words with his bull horn & public media to speak against anyone who opposes him to try to subtly motivate his MAGA hounds to attack the ppl & their families that actually tell the truth about him. And then he steps aside & waits for his minions to respond & acts totally innocent as if he is not responsible because he did not directly tell them to go after the ppl he very purposely speaks hostile about. WAKE UP! He IS responsible because he knows very well his words have power to influence ppl to take action. \nAnd too many cowards in the Supreme Court & Republican party including his own VP Mike Pence were all too afraid to speak up against him. \nIf the majority of Americans want such a toxic person for leader, that’s America’s poor choice but Canada wants NO PART in his BS.\nHands off Canada because we WILL stand united & will support our governments efforts & the efforts of other Canadians to withstand against Trump’s bullying tactics.\nBUY CANADIAN!

Trumps actions speak louder than his lies. Trump is setting up America for a World War. Mark my word.

Trump attacking the poor, in Canada and US. Only billionaires will win from Trump’s actions.

How many traitorous actions has 47 taken\nin this term alone !?!

Justin ! you weren't able to protect and run the country when times were easy , when Germans begged you for LNG ! Back than you told them Canada doesn't have the infrastructure to load it into vessels . Guess what? neither Germany had that , but they;ve built in 3 MONTHS !! When you went to India it looked like you were there to go clubbing or dancing instead of looking for contracts or investments, either Canadian to India or viceversa . Now , looking for some other markets when USA is getting closed, its difficult . Nice words ,by the way , but action is what we need .

YES. As a US citizen, I beseech world leaders to stand together for sanity and compassion in the face of the deception, manipulation, disrespect, and amoral actions of our president and his administration. \n Many of us will be applying pressure from the inside. \n May we all create a global force for healing of our modern culture's destructive ways !!!

Canada will need their new border security actions after US citizens start hoarding eggs from Canada.????

From Australia \nSome valid points made whilst also leaving out some important details.\nRe fentanyl - this stronger enforcement and detection strategy should have been In place years ago and should not have taken the threat of tariffs to take this action.

Probably, the best course of action... Buy the dip... Maybe if you have some cash aside, you should ponder on how bad this gets. But at one point, something will give, and things will go back up. White house mutiny? What I do know is that at one point something will give... The pushback is inevitable. And the Vilan is the man who is trying to change everything without any proper thought at all. If your actions do not make sense, Mr. Trump, than they are a facade; and that is wrong. Pulling the woole over your citizens' eyes is not democracy...

I am an American in Alabama. I do not support trump, and I apologize for his horrid actions. What he is doing is not in the best interest of the US, but in support of Putin.

Lady Trudeu , you deserved this , Remember your actions in relations to India

Let me correct Trudeau actions. Trump isn't a SMART person and that was evident at every meetings with others president

TRUMP IS KGB AGENT The The material “Trump is a KGB agent” is based on exclusive information received from a former high-ranking employee of the GRU of the USSR Ministry of Defense (Soviet intelligence). For the first time, shocking details of Donald Trump's years-long cooperation with the KGB and FSB are revealed. According to the insider, Russian intelligence services not only recruited him back in 1978, but also played a key role in winning the 2024 election. This data could be the basis for impeachment and even charges of treason. \n \nAleksandr Sotnik (born 1968) is an independent journalist, publicist, analyst and writer. Since 2012, he has covered protest actions across Russia, and was one of the few reporters who documented events in the midst of political crises. In 2014, he founded the independent channel Sotnik-TV, where he published interviews with leading opposition figures, including Boris Nemtsov, Garry Kasparov and others. \nAs an active participant in civil society, he took part in organizing the March Against Scoundrels (2013), the Peace March (2014) and other protest events. In 2018, due to threats of physical violence, he was forced to leave Russia with his family. First he lived in Lithuania, then moved to Slovakia, where he continues his activities as an independent journalist and publicist. \nIn 2023, the Russian authorities added him to the Rosfinmonitoring register as an “extremist and terrorist”, which was yet another example of political pressure on independent journalists. \nToday, Alexander Sotnik continues to work in exile and remains one of the most consistent independent political analysts and journalists exposing the Russian political system and its mechanisms of influen

American here that has extensive relationships in Canada. We don’t want this tariff war but the tariffs being implemented first by the Trump administration on behalf of US were punitive for violating USMCA and tied directly to the border defects. This was made known in advance and you repeated empty promises. Take your medicine and get well fast. Instead of doing that, you are taking an action that will beget reciprocal tariffs. Implement $30B and Trump will add $30B….add another $125B later and Trump will add another $125B. Heads up….America wants good partners and looks forward to being past this as well. In the meantime, we are prepared to pay more (or live with less) as we get back up on our feet. We have a lot of internal healing and cannot carry any other countries right now. Not sure if that was ever a good thing for either of us. Time to heal our broken ways ….sorry if you got used to our last administration being feckless.

Behind closed doors, they talk about the American banks that want action in Canada. trudeau never mentioned in his speech.

Both Trudeau and Zelensky openly state that Trump's actions will lead to poverty in the USA and weaken the country so much on the international stage that no one will want to cooperate with the US anymore, fearing that when the day of trial comes, the US will betray them—just as Trump did! Unlike Trump, Europe did not betray the USA on its day of trial when NATO's Article 5 was invoked to help the US fight ISIS. Europe sent its soldiers, who died for the USA. And today, Trump claims that this does not matter, that he does not recognize Europe because it supposedly took advantage of him. So I ask, who took advantage of whom? Because so far, I see a deceitful man doing everything that terrorist Putin wants. God, protect America so that its children do not have to fight for freedom, as Ukraine is doing today in defense of American ideals—which, for Trump, mean as much as toilet paper in his golden toilets...

If you are not happy about current actions, consider your own prior actions.

Hey justin they use fentanyl in hospitals. Big words but no actions. You going to fight the cartels?

U GUYS HAVE INFLICTED 25% TARIFFS WHATS WRONG WITH SAYING A WORD DUMB.... UR ACTIONS HAS REFERENCE IT AS DUMB ALREADY.. DONALD TRUMP WAS DOING FKING DUMB THINGS...... JUSTIN TRUDEAU HAS SAID DUMB IS THE MOST LIGHTWEIGHT RESPECTFUL WORDS FOR DONALD TRUMP, FRIENDS WILL SAYS THAT TOO.....

Unfortunately, i think that trump (he does not deserve un upercase) dreams of becoming like putin. All that he is doing, everything in his language and actions screams dictator. I think that putin dreams of having the entire Europe to himself and that trump will actually want everything around the USA which includes ofc, Canada. That was their deal. I don't understand why americans are standing by just watching things unfold. It will not get better, this can only and will get worse. Sooner than they think they will find themselves trapped under these people, with no rights. It is really hard when you are already there to actually go back to democracy.

Thank you for separating the american people from the very small percentage of those in the White House administration behind these actions. Most americans are not in agreement with any of what's coming out of the president's office. He's lost sight of what American really stands for - and that his role, along, with those of his administration, are paid servants. Obligated to SERVE every citizen of their country - including representing and fulfilling the wishes of the people they serve. Whether they like all the people or agree with the needs of all the people. The people of our country don't want what's happening with Canada, Mexico or Ukraine. Or Russia for that matter. As an American i apologize. God bless us all!

Canadians have memory holed the last 8 years of Trudeau running Canada into the ground Trump is a gift to Trudeau who comes out looking good. We are living in an 80s action movie with a dumb script that all comes together at the end with some low grade cheep chest thumping bravado

If America's actions only harmed Americans that would be one thing. But it is dragging down everyone in the world too.

My dear americans. If do not take any action against Trump - you are his co-criminals.

Some people say don’t listen to Trumps words but look at his actions. \n\nAll his actions he did since he is back in office are in favour of Putin and not of the American people

If you take a look at Trump’s business history, you’ll see he bankrupted everything he touched and destroyed everybody in his orbit.\nNow, he is on the verge of destroying the U.S. and its citizens.\nWhat’s more there you need to see or suffer to open your eyes and finally act on to remove - preferably jail - this fckr for all his disgusting actions, lies and the decade long stealing?

sign petition cancel /halt elon musk USA contracts get them reviewed audit for lies/mistakes / paid off to republican officials ... get FBI get Law students to file class action suits,,,, for cost created by Musk...

TRUTH!! The truth hurts Trump’s plan of chaos!! Thank you Mr. Trudeau; Republicans need to hear the TRUTH and end the misinformation! There is no end to the illogical actions that Trump is making but tariffs have been proven to result in a recession. Cutting thousands of jobs of people making $18/hr is insane!! Now, the government can pay unemployment and healthcare for people who were paying taxes! Then there is revenue lost because National Parks and Federal common spaces are closed. Then there was the this: CDC restricted from updating Americans on the latest epidemiologist reports on Covid, bird flu, the chickenpox outbreak in Texas, flu, and every other potential pandemic virus. Women and children will die as a result of this action! \nAgain, illogical anctions along with Trump aligning himself with Putin and every other dictator. He can move to Russia if he wants to live his life under Putin. He treats everyone the same; expendable!

Many thanks to Trudeau. I just love it, World Democracy Leaders like Trudeau, Macron, Keir Starmer and many more EU leaders will come to the aid of Americans to show just how Corrupt and Deranged Trump is and, he can't threaten or fire them. Trump's actions WILL trigger a unification of EU Countries with Canada and any other country that Trump threatens. Tesla EVs won't be purchased, EU and Canadian Satellites won't be launched by US companies, and you'll see EU and Canadian Defense company R&D funding and sales take-off as new Trade agreements are made between these other countries that Severely hurt the US Economy in numerous ways which, just maybe, some since into the total Nut-Job, Scum-Bag, multi-Felon and Rapist named Donald.

Canada already had tariffs on certain U.S. goods before the recent trade disputes escalated in 2025. Historically, Canada has maintained tariffs on various American products to protect its domestic industries, particularly in sectors like agriculture and manufacturing. For example, under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (USMCA), which replaced NAFTA and was signed during Donald Trump’s first term, trade between the U.S. and Canada is largely tariff-free for many goods. However, Canada has long imposed high tariffs on specific U.S. products outside of these agreements, such as dairy, poultry, and eggs, under its supply management system. These tariffs can reach up to 270% on milk, 245% on cheese, and nearly 300% on butter, designed to shield Canadian producers from foreign competition.\n\nAdditionally, Canada has applied tariffs on other U.S. goods over the years, often in response to trade disputes or to balance economic interests. For instance, before the latest round of tariffs in 2025, Canada had tariffs on thousands of product categories, though the exact scope and rates varied depending on the goods and trade agreements in place. Posts found on X also highlight sentiment that Canada has had tariffs on U.S. products like dairy and cars for decades, with some claiming rates as high as 25% on U.S. vehicles—though this may reflect specific cases rather than a blanket policy.\n\nIn contrast, the U.S. generally did not impose broad tariffs on Canadian goods until recent actions under President Trump, who introduced a 25% tariff on Canadian imports effective March 4, 2025, prompting Canada to retaliate with reciprocal 25% tariffs on CA$155 billion of U.S. goods. This retaliation built on Canada’s existing tariff framework but escalated the scale significantly. So, while Canada did have tariffs on U.S. goods beforehand, the current trade war has intensified the situation far beyond the pre-existing measures

Strong language calling the Donald actions dumb? Nah that is very polite

Trump is a petty fool. All his actions are personal. He couldn’t care less about America.

Canada is America's long time great friend. I apologize for Donald's actions. P.S. I didn't vote for him.

I know that most everyone I know thinks Trump is the complete worst thing to happen to the US ever. His narcissistic and delusional actions are ruining our country and making the US a terrible place to live right now. We are a laughing stock because of him. I hope the congress can get him, JD and Musk sentenced to jail for all the constitutional laws and rights they have broken and ignored. Thank you for speaking to the Orange Smurf directly.

Trump childish actions making Trudeau sounds like a actual grown up politican lmao

If I could afford to move from the US to Canada I would move. I am so sick of Trump’s destructive behavior. He’s a very insecure and unhappy person and the only way he can deal with it is by making others miserable. He doesn’t need reasons for implementing new tariffs. He does these things to demonstrate his power, because he’s a class A bully. Canadians, stay strong. We’ll see you this summer when we =action in BC. Your country is clean, safe and the people are so nice.

I'm an American and I fully support Canada. \n\nApologies for Donald's dumb actions, he's such a naughty boy.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen Trudeau say sound and good things. When he actually works on sensible action instead of hyper liberal silliness, that's great. He comes across really well here.

ready to go for a take, action! Brilliantly performed Trudeau.

Americans are horrified and ashamed of this government’s actions.

Brilliant speech and strong actions. As an Australian I support Canadians in their fight for justice and fairness. I doubt however that the bulk of Americans or Donald will take any notice of this speech.

Isn't Trump's actions straight out of a dictator's manual?
