Can Minnesota join Canada? Trudeau is more Presidential on his worst day than Trump will ever be in his best narcissistic dreams.

Canada please keep PM Trudeau in his position! He is brining it to Trump so perfectly, please don't break the chain!!

Trudeau has f'd Canada and it's people over for the last decade, Trump is just the last nail in the whole coffin. Trudeau talking tough, he hid away for months from tax paying truckers during the tyranny over covid

Young Trudeau has forgotten more about running a country than Trump will ever know. I love Canada, the US is being corrupted by Russia.

Shut up Trudeau...everyone wants peace. Trump did us a favour. Canada first.....trade within our borders and the big world

Trump is right, the US needs nothing form Canada. Canada needs to pull their weight. Justin Trudeau has pulled Canada into the dirt.

Suddenly you are true friends???? True friend understand NOT to take advantages from each other. According to President Trump, the US s-called friends did exactly the opposite, you all are taking BIG advantages from the US, in other words, you so-called friends have been leeching out from the US for decades. Now comes a president that want to make the records straight, now you have been crying like baby. Trudeau, normally I do NOT give fascist/Nazi lovers a good advice, but I will make an exception, did you call President Donal Trump DUMB??? Don't you think that is TOTALLY disrespectful??????

I definitely stand with Trump. Trudeau is a terrible leader and should resign.

Trudeau sure hasn't been acting like a friend. Now all of a sudden he's are best friend? That's nonsense. He's a mooch and he's mad that the gravy train is over.\nGo Trump... America First ??

Thank you so much, Prime Minister Trudeau, for telling Trump his action on the tariff is dumb.

Trudeau, as an American, this will not be held against you. This is Trump's fault, period. I just hope that our government wake up and do what its necessary to remove him from power, so that a world balance can be re-established.

It should be clear that Trump is a Russian asset. I stand with Ukraine and Canada. Thank you Justin Trudeau. A greatful American.

Don't listen to the media. Trudeau is an idiot who destroyed our great country of Canada. Most Canadians are against him here. He turned our great country from a peacekeeper to an aggressor, just so the Liberals stay in power. Trump and JD Vance are correct. Zelensky has no cards to dictate the terms of agreement. He cannot just keep receiving billions of dollars from the USA with no accountability, and continue the war for years and years while he profits and stays in power. Enough is enough.

I am sure Trudeau had to cross his fingers as he said Trump was smart ?????

A crying sgame Mr Trudeau is not the leader of America.....but not at the cost of sending trump there. Canada is too beautiful.

As an American I look forward to this trade war with Canada. I've never respected Trudeau as a leader and I don't respect him now after a speech. So please, teach me a lesson and I hope Trump retaliates further to teach you yours. This is your time to show us how wise or how foolish you are and I'm here for that. It won't take long to see either way, good luck, friend.

Hey Trudeau, go con someone else we elected Donald Trump to do what he’s doing.

Trudeau is protecting Canada and Canadians. Felon Trump is destroying America and Americans. I stand up for Canada. We Americans will pay the price of Felon Trumps actions .We will stay strong. Call your legislators ,

Is Trump really smart? Not sure why Mr. Trudeau felt like calling him smart ?

Trudeau has done more for us as Prime Minister since he stepped down than the whole time he was Prime Minister. Canadians love Americans and Trump's bullying is causing this political fallout, dividing our best friends and neighbors.

Clearly and eloquently put by Mr Trudeau - a man morally superior to Trump and also, of course, of Vance. By the way Trump, are you going to put any tariffs on Russian goods whilst they continue to attack Ukraine, or are you going to continue treating your pal Putin with kid gloves? Canada, we stand with you ?? ??

Haha Trump will only care that Trudeau called him Donald

How many containers, coming into the country, do we check?......Trudeau's not doing enough to battle drugs and guns coming into this country. And it shouldn't take Trump pulling this tariff action to get Trudeau motivated.

Everything Trudeau said is true. The problem is trump is acting to destroy America as a functioning nation, likely out of love for OR fear of Vladimir Putin. Nothing else makes sense.

Trudeau you are all great, give vindictive dictator Trump his own back, stay strong with the other decent countries as old man Trump can never be trusted, he uses Putinto distract from his evil takeover of Americans.

a lot of yanks commenting on here saying we stand with trudeau, but you don't do you, you sit on your lazy fat arses and do nothing about this orange turd, who is ruining the world. get up and get trump out.

The people of canada can't even afford housing there. Trudeau has ruined the country,his approval ratings reflect this. America doesnt have any reason to fund a proxy war against Russia either. all you people have been brainwashed against the Trump administradion. FDR wasn't even going to get us involved in WW2, remember isolationism? we need more of that to cut back our military budget people

This is the time to set aside any dislike for Trudeau. I see him more capable of standing up to the Trump administration than the other candidates queuing up to replace him. Think about it, this is not the time to chastise him for past failures because all this does is play into the hands of the Trump clown show.

Wow PM Trudeau speaks only the truth. ? how reassuring to see our leader being so sincere and standing strong for the people in Canada and clearly showing the world and people in the US the truth that the US GOVERNMENT hates to hear. What a disgrace to have such malicious people in the administration when the power could be used to save people and make the society better. Their slogan is frankly MAWA - make America worse again (2nd trump term). So happy to see PM Trudeau telling its dumb to do this directly to the orange sack of s*hit. Maple Pride is strong!!! I’m not only feeding my family Canadian produce and products, but also my cats! ❤

Do what you have to do Trudeau. We don’t blame you in America. Trump is disgracing us all over the world running this country into the ground. The stock market is down. Prices are up joblessness is up and this is before the tariffs. Maybe when these red state people can’t afford food, they will wake up to what we knew Our entire lives, watching the news in New York growing up. Trump‘s grandfather led to Europe to avoid mandatory military service. Not a single member of his family in-laws or any generation has ever served in the military. He has screwed over every contractor and blue-collar worker that ever works for him while grouping young, teen girls at his beauty pageants. Simultaneously bankrupting several casinos Trump state Trump airline Trump Water Stealing all the money from his charity, so he is never allowed to run a charity again and somehow, these morons elected him to be president of our country. If we have to hurt a little bit to get this cancer removed from our country so be it. Make America great again by praying for Trump to choke on a big Mac.

Ya buddy trudeau put carbon tax liberal stole 400m in the past 18months. So trudeau can remove that tax and keep tariffs from America. Because they protect us. Trump knows this. No1 in Canada likes liberals ?

I don’t need Trudeau to tell us American anything. Talk to my attorney/negotiator Mr. Donald Trump.

UNITED STATES DOES NOT NEED TRUDEAU TO TELL US WHAT THE TARIFFS WILL DO TO US BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HIS BUSINESS. HE IS JUST TRYING TO USE A SCARE TACTIC SO THAT CITIZENS WILL PUT PRESSURE ON PRES. TRUMP TO STOP!! MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS TRUDEAU!!

Canadians are reasonable, so is it fair that Trudeau is increasing our carbon taxes another 20% next month? Please reason that neon double standard. He’s literally the worst PM in Canadian history. \nIn Nov 2024 the BIGGEST drug bust in Canadian history took place in BC. The amount of fentanyl alone would have killed the entire population of Canada TWICE. International cartels involved. So if it takes tariffs to make our borders safe, that’s on Trudeau, not Trump. This security should have been sorted out a long time ago.

President Trudeau, most of us Americans are with you. We don't want Trump at all. Please help us.

Why did you not answer the question of why does Trudeau and Canada think Trump is using the fentanyl excuse?\nThe intention of using a trade war to undermine the Canadian economy to make Canada the 51st state.\nIt is an existential threat to Canada as a nation.

Hey Trudeau, go call somebody else we love Trump. We love what he’s doing.

Trudeau well done, dont show fear like Trump have from Putin???

I voted for Trump, but it's hard not to agree with Trudeau on this even though I find this guy to be extremely unpleasant. There's no reason to start trade wars all over the world and in particular with our neighbors. It's one thing to threaten tariffs and a very different thing to actually apply them. If you do it has to be accompanied by a lot of diplomacy so that the other country is not overreacting, but Trump has been super combative prompting our neighbors to respond in kind to save face. While past deals may not have been great for US, this is not the way to handle our differences. Billionaires like Trump and his friends will be fine, but the majority of ordinary folks in the US and Canada will suffer. Very dumb, indeed.

As a Marine Corps Veteran, a die hard patriot to the USA, and as a Trump Supporter; I do not support this. We shouldn't Impose tariffs on one of our closest allies. It should also be stated I'm not a fan of Trudeau at all, but I commend him for helping out with the fentanyl situation. Also I don't like how Trump is Siding with Russia. However I do understand his stance on not wanting to continue to send Money to Ukraine to keep the war going on longer, As we have sent them Billions of Dollars in the last three years. However as a US citizen I also have to state the the US has a history of supporting countries that were invaded in the past, which we have done up to this point in Ukraine. Correct me if I'm Wrong, but when have we just stopped supporting the invaded country and sided with the Invading country?

Trudeau was never ever seen as a smart man. It is a mockery for a fool to call a genius dumb. Aka: Same as AOC calling Elon Musk not smart. AOC's brain cells could barely count to 100. \nBut honestly, this fool Trudeau who is resigning because in the end he proved worthless and like a little lap dog had to snap at President Trump as he is ready to be ousted because he, himself knows that in today's world he is totally incompetent. \nMost true Americans know President Trump is right. And though we disagree on making Canada our 51st state, because we prefer to have it as our personal Democrat reject dump site.\nThe Stock Market downfall you can rest assured are more of the Democrats boycotting America which we have always known to back stab America every chance they get. Democrats have always been Americas traitors, and we wouldn't expect any different from them now.

Not always a Trudeau fan; but DAMN his speech was CLEAR AND FACT CHECKING and it laid out everything and made trump look like a STUPID LYING FOOL who has no clue what these tarrifs will do to BOTH our economies. I m PROUD of Trudeau for his speech and standing up for Canadians.

Trudeau is eloquent in speaking nothing like Trump. I admire Trudeau I dislike Trump and the Republicans.

TRUMP SCHOOLS TRUDEAU! CNN IS FAKE NEWS. THEY WHINE AND COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING TRUMP DOES...THEY'RE ANTI-AMERICAN...AND TOO MANY OF THEIR VIEWERS ARE TOO! IT'S QUITE AMAZING HOW THIS EVEN HAPPENS. WHERE HAS COMMON SENSE GONE WITH YOU CNN LOYALISTS??? CNN PUTS THEIR SHEEPLE IN A TRANSE AND THESE BRAINWASHED POOR SOULD HEAD TO SOCIAL MEDIA TO ANNOUNCE ALL THE PROPAGANDA TO EVERYONE...LOL. SAD!

For those haters of Trudeau. The man stands strong and he will not get intimidated from the Trump administration. That is a strong speach and all of that wouldn't happened if Trump has just one active good braincell... So you'll see how bad the economic gonna go... And damn the americans will suffer for the price for sure... But let me say one thing, there is so much good people still in USA... We should stand strong together.

Trudeau, you are a unmitigated IDIOT!! Any American that buys into your bullshit is an idiot. We know there are many liberal IDIOT'S in America. However Trump is not one of them.. The American people stand with Donald Trump.. Save your B.S. for someone else.

Good and honest words from Prime Minister Trudeau to Canadians, Americans, the world and Trump, who is called dumb. A fair and undeniable description, but only Americans can change their government.

Prime Minister Trudeau is too polite towards felon trump, me,I will not hold back

Trudeau is 100% correct! trump = trash!!!

Yet, a majority of Canadians are so full of hatred themselves and want to replace Trudeau with a Trumper named Pierre Poilieve. This is how stupid people are all over the world, this is not just a US thing. The Trump propaganda forced Trudeau to step down for no real reason. He let in too many immigrants yes,,but so did every other world leader, thats it, but enough for the Canada Trumpers to throw away free health care. Trunpers in Ontario just won a landslide with Dictator Doug Ford.\nOnce Pierre Poilieve takes charge we will be paying for healthcare and a 51st state. \nCanadians are making the same mistake due to fake news and propaganda by Trumpers/Truckers. Those Canadians dont want free health care anymore, they want Pierre Poilieve's hate filled agenda over a smart well spoken guy like Trudeau. Just watch and see...Canada is about to f up bad..
