I have found a whole new respect for Trudeau. A very respectable man.

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

I think the Trump administration sees Gilded as Golden. It's definitely a new American Gilded Age... only Golden if you're wealthy enough.

Remember everyone…..no new wars under Trump ???

The new Cold War will have an economic front. The US is siding with Russia and Putin is dictating this.

Now there's a real, respectable statesman. Not an ill-mannered narcissist and bully in a suit.\nThat was a great speach. I hope leaders in Europe take note. I hope our new administration takes note.\nCanada, you can be proud. Stand tall!\nSupport and best wishes from Germany

As long as Trump and his administration align themselves to dictators and impose outrageous tariffs on our allies and head toward an authoritarian government, all countries from the free world need to fight back against these unfair tariffs being imposed by the Trump administration. New torch bearers for the free world and the unified free world needs to decouple from an undependable, disloyal, Trump led US. Trump is tarnishing the legacy of the US in real time.

For those who have been tuning into what the president has been saying at the White House for weeks and weeks, don’t need anymore explanation. They have been extremely transparent as to why. CNN, you are a catalyst for new republican voters because of your bullshit reporting. I have always been independent, leaned more leftward. Thanks to you guys, I’ve been leaning more to the right. And I am not the only one. Look at this last election. Shameful.

New Zealander here . . . Justin Trudeau speaks with truth, strength, and integrity.

It's obvious Trump wants to tear down all of the alliances we currently have and forge a new one with Russia. I only hope that enough GOP politicians are moral and ethical enough to stop this. Right now, the GOP is just enabling him.

Trudeau is a clown & crook took all his bank accounts of Truckers protest him . He should be in jail for that .He done a terrible job . He got in an airplane right way to DC to see Pres Trump when he won the election . Before & Now With new Tariffs Canadians don’t like Trudeau . They want him out so bad ! He was a cov fool.

America's NEW Flag ?? at least you will still be able to call it the RED WHITE AND BLUE ... ya'll will be the 22 Republic of Russia ..\nUSSA , United Soviet State of America.?? Cheers to Donnie Hip hip hooray , ? Vlads gonna have you over for tea... ?? FAFO

America elected a MF FOOL to office and I blame the morons that complained about the price of gas and eggs! America elected a MF felon, a fraud and a racist to office for the purpose of some low class group of people to feel empowered. What a shit show America has become! Fuck all of you all that complained about Biden, now look at the new Russia!

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

As a Canadian… this man is a moron. Tariffs are taxes. \n\nHe taxes us to death. 1) We have 13% sales tax. \n2) We have 53.53% in income tax. \n3) Average property tax of $7k a year. \n4) 50% capital gains tax\n5) 10% luxury tax on new cars, boats and aircraft\n\n\nHe wants to add more Carbon taxes. \n\nAnd yet, he makes a big fuss over this.\n\nIDIOT.

Nop problem, is it time to build Canada ?? ? ?? Cuba new paradise

Up to now, I strongly despised Trudeau. He was weak, dumb, inconsistent, insignificant. \nNow, my opinion has changed. \nWhat he says is far from crap. \nT is a criminal, at the service of China, Russia to disrupt the North American economy every which way he can, whilst hiding in the shadow of a sheer head on military conflict that would leave both sides in the midst of nuclear fallout for centuries. \nThe enemy within. \nThe scour of unabashed destruction. \nThe new age of mind slavery in a T.

The Globalists are playing musical chairs behind the scenes. Private interests, multinational corpoations re-aligning into new factions, Politicians are merely mouthpieces at this point. No worries tho, the meek shall inherit the earth. Let Babylon FALL!!!

A true leader. Are Canadians sure they want him gone?\nIt’s time the rest of the civilised world turned its back on the US. We have all been lazy and relied on them taking away the need to invest in what we can do. Which is why they think they hold all the cards Let’s stop this now and all civilised nations that do not have narcissistic tyrants at the lead pull resources together with new trade deals and prove them wrong. Let them implode. It will happen. Let’s not trade with them \nStop buying Teslas too

Australian living in New Zealand here and i support you 100% Canada. Trumps is a Russian asset now and nobody should trust the US goverment. When their economy collapses they will only have themselves to blame for voting in a con artist and criminal that is totally unqualified to be leading anything bar a meal line in a public jail.

tbh we've had Apple and Japan commit to over a trillion dollars that 150 billion we just spent in ukrain not to mention the face were about to get 500 more billion in rare earth. Fuck canada and their liberal media. cars and trees is all we get from them and we have plenty of lumber and Honda is putting a new factory in Indiana.

We need a new USA president

I am Ukrainian from Kyiv. Standing with Canada and American people who don't support Trump's policies. Thank you a loooot for supporting us! Its mean a lot for us! Unfortunatly looks like Trump find a new friend - putin(( ?

A massive support for ?? people! It is right and just to stand firm against the new aggressor in North America. ?? ?? ??

As a Canadian I’m fed up seeing Turdo’s face. He ruined our country and I’m hoping my fellow citizens will not take the bait of a new face on the same old party and re-elect the Liberals. If that happens we are utterly done.

Trudeau .. thank you for having the courage to speak up when the gutless politicians of America, rape the people of their dollars and opportunities, ie. little hitler (trump) and little himmler(musk) the new age fascists of American Politics.

Trump seeks to weaken the United States, force Canada into the 51st state, annex Greenland, restrict Mexico economically, repossess the Panama Canal and put it all at Putin's feet. Trump is pursuing Putin's agenda at a time in the history of the earth when climate change is opening up the Arctic Ocean and the North Pole to industrialization and commercialization along new routes never seen before . Trump's policies do not benefit the American people at all, but rather the economic potential of the Russians, The King of the North.

New Yorker here. I don’t like it but I’m supporting whatever ?? feels they need to do to deal with the diapered one’s BS. Stay strong and don’t give in. The sane among us understand and stand with you.

What an amazing speech. Canada, be proud and don't let him go. With love from the UK. perhaps the American folks should let America become a new province of Canada because the American people deserve to be treated better than thier president is currently treating them. I encourage everyone to not look bad upon the American people, its not thier fault. Long may you fly the maple leaf ?

AMEN Trudeau tell the truth about our new Government not doing the right thing for us Americans. Thank you for saying the truth.

Trump is friend only to himself. Beyond that, I'm wondering if he is a Russian asset. What did he and Putin talk about in Helsinki in 2018, when no one else was allowed inside the room, very much against protocol? There are simply too many odd Trump-Russia incidents to ignore this, starting with Paul Manafort passing Trump campaign intel to Konstantin Kilimnik. I think there is cause for investigation. And frankly, spying on Trump should they find anything that warrants it. Canada rocks. I ordered a new Canada t-shirt and I'm going to wear it in public. Trump sucks golf balls. Thinking about getting a Gulf of Mexico shirt too. Trump is making Trudeau into a hero all of a sudden. LOL, way to go dumb orange president.

President Trudeau-CAN YOU PLEASE BE THE US NEW PRESIDENT???? I DID NOT VOTE FOR TRUMP AND THINK HE IS AN ID*&T, and we as an American people SIDE WITH YOU!!!

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.

We don't want this eather new jersey

Thank you Justin Trudeau! ❤ from New Zealand.

Shocking how united states has a new Hitler.

HERE IS THE TRUTH OF THIS - ASK WHO STANDS TO GAIN IF WE LOSS AND CANADA LOSSES? - BUSINESS THAT WILL BUY UP BUSINESSES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BORDER! NOTHING NEW HERE TO UNDERSTAND - FOLLOW THE MONEY. TANK THE MARKET THEN BUY LOW - BACK OFF IN A FEW DAYS AND SELL WHEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL PRICES.. THIS IS AND WILL ALWAYS BE A CASH GRAB... WATCH THEM GET FAT WHILE YOU SUFFER... LOSE JOBS. IT IS PAYBACK TO SUPPORTS, RUSSIA AND THE BILLION BUNCH... THEY WIN - YOU LOSE... I FEEL VERY SORRY FOR US ALL TODAY AND I DO MEAN ALL OF US. THOSE THAT VOTED FOR HIM DO NOT DESERVE THIS EITHER. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU REPAY LOYALTY. ?

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.

New Yorker here. I'm here for my Brothers and Sisters from up north.

You open the gates for illegals from Canada to usa everyone has seen videos. Taxis plying between New York and Canada border.. nothing matters other than protecting the sancity of borders of the country..That the only reason president trump had advantage on democrats and now people of Canada should also take a decision about u r leadership as u made ur country home of khalistani terrorist and Hindu RSS fanatics

How about we hear him in court has everyone forget what he's done and doing to Canada and using this turbulent time to try and save his sorry ass don't fall for it if he really cared we would have had a new PM long ago and sing would've got that pension and he's stepped down and closed parliament but still spending billions

Phenomenal speech. Europeans and Canadians should stand together against this new Russia-USA alliance. American people, I still do not understand why you have chosen this man and his disastrous program. We will all pay the price for that. We all want to live in peace, there was no need for that

Finally Trudeau is talking sense after 9 years of rubbish from him and his Liberal government, I guess he really doesn't care because he's fianally quitting and we are getting a new leader!?!?

I wish Canada would make us a new province

Canadian has new law tottalitarian Bill C-63 .\nIf you have different oppinion gov can call hate speach, WHO can decide what is hate speach, only Gov.. You can get the life prison. \nIt is like fascist law

Wow great speech, especially first minute. He isn't scared of our new traitor president. Kudos to Canada for standing up to our lousy bully. Sadly, its just one lousy businessman doing this to everyone. Nice work MAGA. What you gotta say now?

Americans are owned by their new King Vladimir Putin now. And China. This is all to help China and Russia. \nWhen will CNN even fkn MENTION \nTHE 200-500 THOUSAND INDIVIDUAL MILITARY GRADE WEAPONS US MANUFACTURERS SELL TO DRUG CARTELS EVERY YEAR ? \nYOUR CORRUPT OFFICIALS TAKING PART I. TRAFFICKING THE DRUGS. DID YOU EVEN REPORT THE ALABAMA CASE OF THE 5 cops and a spouse. Including the CHIEF OF POLICE Using the Evidence room as their drug supply ??\nHUH. ?\n\nCNN ????????

A message to Trudeau. Put an export tax on the Oil and Electricity sold to the United States. Open up new European Markets for Oil and Natural Gas product and sell directly to Europe and Japanese markets. China needs oil, there is plenty of market around the world for our products. The Tariff's imposed by Trump is only going to make product to the US more expensive for their own citizens, and with Tariff's on all American imports, if they can't make it, or they don't have the raw materials to make it themselves, they will have to pay more. It is not necessary to impose Tariff's on USA Products to penalize Canadians, but Canadians will find new markets to replace the US, and we won't even notice it happened. We have alternatives. The southern islands are great vacation locations, and with the weather disasters they have suffered over the past few years, they could use the tourist support to help rebuild, and, their people are friendly and don't carry guns.

from New Zealand: respect for Trudeau, and that has not always been my opinion of him in the past

Don't worry dear Canadians, new markets will be found and new friends will be made, stronger and based upon a healthy relationship. The World is yours....
