Paula Newton started out bad. I did not like her opening statements.

Did he say we just started better security yesterday?

Mexico is standing with Canada, we will not let our countries be bullied by the USA. If you want to stop the drugs start by teaching your kids how to be happy without them.

A man that knows who started the war seems Trump thinks Zelenskyy Ukraine started it even Sleepy Joe Biden knew it was Putin.

Where going to start making it here. We don’t need Canada

Trump will destroy world peace he is attacking his friends and ally's and appeasing putin trump will be the one that starts ww3 just watch

Donald Trump is out of his mind making enemies with other countries, and Trump still won't admit that Vladimir Putin started the war with Ukraine.

Y’all are gonna screw around and start WW 3

Every political leader sees world war 3 happening (or at least if history serves as a template.) Trump will start it. But he will blame everyone for it.

As a Canadian it's nice to hear that there are U.S. Citizens that stand with us, but lets be honest, we don't want you standing with us in this moment, we want you standing up to your own leaders and telling them that they're wrong. You start doing that, we'll stand with YOU.

You're far too articulate and intelligent for 30-35% of Americans. Republican party started attacking our educational system in Reagan's administration (bc they don't want educated voters - who don't fall for the misinformation and FUD the R's use to get votes).

Donald Trump has been compromised, he has been bought and paid for by Putin the Russian empire. He has no business being in the oval office let's start the impeachment process now. Donald Trump is cashing in on the American presidency with Russia. I'm sure we'll find out down the road that he's been taking payoffs from the Russian government for a long time. I'm sure Putin's got plenty of dirt on Donnie.

as an American, I am starting to feel that maybe we should integrate into Canada as provinces

I maybe an ignorant on politics , but what happens when USA , well not USA but the Trump administrations has caused so much damage to the country to the point where other maybe most of his allies start taking responses such as that of Canada , and escalate to the point where perhaps USA lose most of his allies at least important allies such as Canada, the support of the global geopolitics , I Maine that scenario for a moment wouldn't that give Trump an excuse to align even more openly with Putin? I mean why would Trump want that at all who knows but he is certainly aligning with Russia just not openly at least that's what a lot of these decisions he has made recently seem to suggest I mean a lot of the consequences of those decisions and acting really seem to benefit someones agenda and to me a politics ignorant seems to be Putin ... Am I too crazy for thinking and feelings like that???

When I was just starting my career, I was threatened to be fired and I cried. I said I would change and do what ever I could do to keep my job. The boss laughed and said oh now you fuckin care? \nTrudeau is suddenly crying for doing what he should have done so fuckin long ago. Retaliation sucks, should have been better earlier.

I'm still lost on how it's the US fault for Canada allowing drugs/etc to enter the US...If we send our Military to CA and start killing people, I guess it would be CA fault?

I just just don't understand what these blanket tariffs achieve for Americans. Firstly, employment in the US is at an all time high, if the aim is to bring back primary and manufacturing industries then it's just a myth. It's just pointless and mindless. Nobody wants to go back to working in heavy industry, people want high paying, highly specialized industries, this doesn't create that, it just makes cost of living higher so wages have to go up and cost of bringing in raw materials goes up, all things that discourage start up companies that employ well educated and skilled Americans

It is high time that you all start acknowledging who is the one to help .

Is this world War 3 trump is starting

Trudeau is correct. It was wrong of Trump to start a tariff war.

This happened during a prorogation Trudeau called for. Look at what happened and where we currently are. He's starting a fight before he leaves....

Hey trump. Try speaking like this. Start by not lying. You can tell when trump is lying. It's whenever there's noise coming out of his mouth.

The United States of America needs to dispose of Trump NOW. This is travesty. I am an American crying now to see what this monster is doing to our country and the world especially our allies. SHAME ON TRUMP AND THOSE WHO ARE WITH AND FOR HIM. Have the decency to step aside or start behaving like a president not an embarrassment.

Let's be perfectly clear, here: The United States, leaving her markets WIDE OPEN -- as if a woman flinging her legs open and apologizing if she can't 'service' everyone in the crowd -- for EIGHTY YEARS and our workers, engineers, factory builders, etc., etc., all just watching our jobs float off to other shores...is OVER.\n> As is to be expected, Trudeau is keeping up appearances. \n> About THREE-FOURTHS of Canada's exports are converted to CASH inside the United States. \n> That means JOBS for Canadians, paychecks for Christmas time and tax revenues for Ottawa.\n> Yes, the US really does need Canada. We need Mexico. (We don't need Communists like China.)\n> But we have SACRIFICED our most vital naturally-occurring need: our personal and industrial productivity and creativity. \n> The United States, thanks to Her ideas on governance and empowerment of the People, invented and created the modern world that, now, almost 8 billion people expect (maybe closer to 6 billion of the 8+). \n> We have suffered unspeakably for the past -- at least -- 50 years as more and more of our ingenuity and creativity that once fueled our production has disappeared in the name of keeping the world free.\n> Enough. \n> The world WILL change. We can either accept China's version of Soviet Communism, relinquishing all global empowerment for whatever the CCP feels like, today.\n> Or we can bite the bullet and allow the People of the United States to restore what we sacrificed for the stability of a free world, starting about 80 years ago.\n> Either way, Canada will not go back to the way things were.\n> They can be better. But not like before. Period.

we the American start to look like the bad guys to the world y would we start some wit Canada they peaceful

“President Donald J Trump,” to you — and your country started this by treating us unfairly

This is embarrassing. Trump is ruining America and our democracy. Can't wait to start paying more for everything, thanks MAGA!! F***ing idiots.

I really do believe that Americans have started to mate with vegetables, what a bunch of half wits.

It would be the US that is the bully that started the trade war\n\n\nI’m embarrassed

? we just won’t let you take us for granted anymore ? how about you start focusing on not hurting your own citizens you douche ?

You are exactly right Trump would rather help Russia that says Hamas is not a terrorism Russia China and Iran will invade Israel Trump would rather help Russia when Russia Helps Iran and the Terrorism hamas Trump wants to blame other countries like Ukraine saying that they're starting World War 3 it's not them it's Trump that's going to cost that World War 3

Trump's goal is to start an actual war with anyone who'll have it, including our closest neighbors and allies. The reason is that wartime presidents have more power and he doesn't care who stands in his way. He's going to use that power to detain journalists and jail political opponents ahead of the midterms claiming them to be traitors, then he's going to set himself up to run for a third term. If he succeeds, he'll have total control. Democratic leaders will be in jail, journalists will be silenced, and the national guard will forcefully search your home for any second amendments you might have lying around as they deliver our ballots at gunpoint. How do I know? Because that's what tyrants do. The US is in the midst of a political coupe and it's imperative that the situation be viewed from that paradigm. Drop any pretense that this administration is anyone's ally, they're not. They're a rogue administration attempting to seize total control of the US.

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.

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

We don’t dislike American people; we dislike Donald Trumps attitude towards Canada! ?? \n\nWe’ve already started to boycott American food & other products in our grocery stores! \n\n“Canadians are reasonable, and we are polite; but we will not back down from a fight . \n\nThere are no winners in a trade war!”\n~Justin Trudeau\n\nAmericans know that the issue is tRump & not the American people!\n\nGod help us all!

Go for it, Canada! \nThe trade war trump started is stupid, and we the PEOPLE of USA do NOT support this stupid, costly trade war.

I never ever was on the Trump train. I am an American Citizen and I think he is deranged. I hope those that voted for him are starting to pick up on his madness after these past few weeks. How he ever got elected the first time was absolutely sickening. But to do it again? After an insurrection? The U.S. deserves whatever blow back we get. I don’t deserve it but maybe all of these cult followers will start to realize he is a madman. He’s everything we tried to tell people he was and yet so much worse than we could imagine. I am surrounded by Trump supporters deep in AL. I am ashamed, so full of shame and embarrassment that people voted Trump in. He told them who he was, he showed them who he was, and they still supported him. I hope the suffering we are going to face opens their eyes to recognize the insanity!

Let's all start fresh NO MORE FOREIGN AID!! Done - Finished - we don't owe anything to any one and I don't need Trudeau speaking to me. He has a failing economy and it has been failing since he came in ~ now he wants to blame Trump! Everything here should be MADE IN AMERICA!!

Yo Canada u offer nothing syrup nothing don’t start with us just don’t wer the ballin business men not u deal with it

Every country in the world should impose 20% on american goods as a response to this. See who will start crying

Drumpff is antithetical to progress. He is a cancer on our world. I just wish the Democrats would actually start fighting this BS with all means at their disposal. For all the MAGA out there I hope you enjoy what you wrought. It’s not liberal tears, it’s nationwide suffering. WE PAY FOR TARIFFS!!!!! Look up how well Smoot-Halley affected the country. Ttump (sic) has been self-dealing since I heard of him in the 70’s. He played on your fears & you bought his lie. To quote P.T. Barnum, “A sucker is borne every minute.” One of the primary things I impart to my kids is to not trust a salesman!!!!

its interesting how people now starting to praise trudeau when before literally bashing him to a point that he had to resign lol, people are weird.

Trudeau is not a scumbag let somebody name starting with t and his cronies yeah they made a good deal and he broke it Trudeau is a real politician and he's for the betterment of his people and his neighbors Trump and his people or not I'm with you so I'm with Trudeau and all-americans who don't want a dictatorship I will not bow down to a self-made King with tin plated ego with delusional of God hood that go's for Elon also needer is not a good business man always had some one do it for them \n.that drug who owns ships qe all know Trump lies and musk??

Yet Canada hates him right now, Just as much as all of you hate Trump. Trump never said he sided with Russia and I really wish all of you dimwits would donate your personal money, or personally volunteer to step on the front lines. They have no manpower and y'all are idiots to think that it makes sense to give a country backing after they're the ones who threaten to join NATO and clearly most of y'all don't even know that NATO started this bullshit by going against their promises to Russia and they have added eight former Soviet countries to their union. At this point I'm okay with giving half of the US to the libtards So you guys can pay taxes to fund every other country but your own. Yuck.

I couldn’t be more ashamed of this beautiful country I love so dearly. Please—let’s impeach this pumpkin bastard and start repairing the wreckage he’s already caused. Apologies to our friends in Canada—decent Americans love and value you and always will.

Everything started with Drake and Kendrick ???

Im Canadian and let me tell you, the hatred for Trudeau was everywhere. And Pierre Polieve was a shoe in. Since Trump started all this trade war stuff, a lot of us are looking at Trudeau differently. Its almost like Trump is doing this to make us Canadians like Trudeau again lol

Why haven't impeachment hearings for Trump started already? (rhetorical question, no need to answer haha) \nOr at least cognitive decline hearings, Trump has lost his mind.... oh wait, he lost if years ago haha

Who the hell starts a fight with Canada?? The idiot trump, that's who.

A speech you can actually understand that is coherent is a nice change! I love how media makes out like Canada is escalating things...it started with Trump, just like Putin invaded Ukraine!
