I’m glad to hear Trudeau say Canada is worth fighting for. Prior to the recent US election he’s been beating the DEI and down with the evil west drum for the last decade. What specific Canadian/western values in your opinion are worth fighting for Trudeau?

The US gives $200 billion yearly to Canada. U.S. banks are not allowed to do business in Canada, but yet we allow their banks in the US...by the way LOOK IT UP. You liberals are what's wrong with both countries. Inflation is created by printing money with no concrete backing such as gold/oil, not tariffs. Will tariffs create short term inflation yes, will it stimulate jobs, spending absolutely yes. For those liberals who keep saying how intelligent this ? is...this is the same guy who disarmed his beloved citizens and gave the guns to Ukraine. For those who sympathize with this ?, move to Canada. I have no ill will towards Canadians except the cancerous liberals that allow idiots like Trudeau to take office. Look at the facts before you sympathize with a country that doesn't benefit us in EQUAL FAIR TRADE.

As a foreigner myself , It’s actually a pleasure listening to a political leader and actually believing what he is saying \nWell done President Trudeau \nI wish my country politicians have that professionalism level

Unfortunate! Trump\nIs not my government not my president! Please know that we are more upset and angry than everyone else! Every 70 million democratic voters are crying out and saying Trump will destroy everything, and it’s already happening! The only thing we can say is: “we told you so MAGA believers”

Basically, Trudeau is saying don't get mad...get even.

Everything Trudeau is saying should be reasonable and sensible to every American, that is every American that isn't either a blind faith follower of Trump, or someone profiting from Trump and his policies. Sadly there are just so very many of them.

If I see a Trump supporter on TV, expect that everything he says is praising Trump?!! Just cover your ears or change the TV channel

As a Canadian and not a fan of Trudeau I have to say he's earned respect as a leader.\nNot like the trumpy pile of ? south of us

Canada ?? we are sorry about our dumb president. we are with you, i would love to live there. union member and home owner. proud father, husband, and american would like to say, my prayers and thoughts are with you at this time….

Let's wait for a US-Russia, or should I rather say White House-Russia free trade deal. I wouldn't be surprised at all.

This guy ruined his own country and think we care what he has to say ??

Man, I hate this guy, but he’s right hard to say

I say this to all Americans, t***p goes on and on about President McKinley as he used Tariffs on behalf of the US . Does he not realize McKinley was assassinated? McKinley was a nut job as well. I'm so sorry Canada for this childish rhetoric coming from our idiots in thief.

Ahahahhah karma is digital what can you say about this Mr trump?

Did Trudeau step down or not ? I thought he stepped down. So he has nothing to say ??

He used Donald speech lol. And Only Called Him Donald. No prez in front. He little boyed him?. While saying, Big things lol.

Well if Trump crashes the US economy then like… Liz Truss as prime minister in the UK he should resign as president… which then takes America from out of the frying pan into the fire with president Vance… and if he ever becomes president, I would say world war 3 will be inevitable.

Trudeau is only saying what he thinks will get him re-elected. He needs to go

The rare time I have seen Canadians upset and it took a lot for them to get there because when he says that they are nice, he is not lying. I’m appalled by this!?

I didn't vote for him. I stand with Canada. I wish that they would impeach Trump. Everything Trump says is a lie.

You see trump saying anything so sincere and real like this?

Prime Minister Trudeau was wrong about one thing. That was saying Trump is a smart guy.

? wait so wouldn’t that mean he is choosing to do it to his people too? Saying trade wars don’t work is like saying sanctions in Russia won’t work either. Hahahahaha. He is almost gone so he just doesn’t give a crap anymore

My hat goes off to you sir! Thank you for your clarity on this matter. Unfortunately we have a maniac for our commander and chief, who has the Republicans to back all of his idiotic plans. I can only say may God bless us all through the next (4) years of his destruction! I have a strong feeling that the worst is yet to come... Stay strong Canada

American says good it will show other Americans who voted for Trump.

He lost me at saying that Trump is a smart guy...

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

Oh god. He said let's look at the facts. Now they won't listen to shit he says

When Trudeau spoke to Donald, his vocab suddenly shrank to 135 words in total, including such short classics as big, strong, smart and guy. Clearly, he was trying not to overwhelm his intended interlocutor ?I won’t hold my breath for Donald to say thank you.

This is what a LEADER looks like!!! You can understand every word he says. Not like Trump, who reads and sounds like Dick and Jane!!! I stand with you Canada!!!

Im sorry Canada. And the rest of the world as well. All I can say is a LOT of us did not support or vote for this insanity and we still stand with you all.

As an American I think I’m right to say most of us are on Canadas side. Glad to finally see a great leader like Trudeau call Trump “dumb “!

Say we are fucked without saying we are fucked

Canadian says that President Trump should punish Trudeau for running his mouth.

I.m not saying that president D.Trump is a traitor and an undercover russian asset. But if a bird looks like a duck , swims like a duck and quacks like a duck , then it probably is a duck.

Trudeau is an example of someone who is willing to say the truth about this U.S. renegade executive office passing policies that hurt both Canadian and U.S. economy. \n Republicans who are spineless are not willing to do this. Thank you, Trudeau

As a Canadian, I have voted him out every chance I had, always thinking their could not be a worse leader than him, than America says hold my beer. Now, I stand with my prime minister Justin Trudeau. I have cancelled our annual family trip to the states. I wish you all well, but I stand with my country

What exports do usa sell around the globe? Coca cola, Macdonald/fast food. Garbage fatty food. Automobiles, all shit. , clothing, all cheap nasty crap. No one byesLevi's, nike, polo , say goodbye to Burberry, gucci, d&d McQueeni could go on in the thousandsof brands. US OIL , SHALE OIL, poor quality, shit beer, shit wine, shit whiskey etc etc . OPEC WONT CAVE. CANADA already, stopping Electric from Canada to Northern US stares. Already crops dying on the vine, etc because the workers have bee deported. And now he stop aid, to Ukraine. Europe, Uk, Commonwealth Countries, increases nations every day now, is turning it/ their backs. What shame, truly a shame.

Did he just say Donalds very smart guy, lol ???

As an American I can say with a full heart that I stand with Canada, Mexico and Ukraine. Donald Trump is a pig and the majority of the American people are complete and utter assholes for electing this deranged demagogue piece of shit. To the world at large, I'm deeply sorry for the stupidity of my people.

Trudeau is just butthurt that American dollars are not going one-way into Canada any longer. He's a liar and a terrible leader. Everyone in the comments saying he's intelligent. No, on the contrary, he's a moron. Smooth talk doesn't make one intelligent.

This is really what we need in the US, someone who is doing what he says and not falling apart as a country. Come on yall, get rid of the cheeto president.

Saying Mrs. Donald Musk is smart ?? he’s the biggest OLD psychotic senile dumbass puppet!!

Im Canadian, and all i hear is wah wah wah a big baby crying. He says he wants to work with America , but Canada's open border policies and letting just anyone come into this country. Liberals are destroying this country of Canada. Stop these open border policies.

I really believe that it just comes down to Trump feeling resentment that he will never be part of a perceived 'inner circle' of establishment world leaders. It's probably over that one time when they were caught on a hot mic dissing him with Trudeau kind of leading the pack. Over the years Trump has shown over and over again that he is that petty and all of his decisions have an absolutely childish basis, yet the American people voted him in a second time. I've run out of patience with the American people too. They're not really doing anything about this except saying online that they support Canada just so they can feel a little better about themselves. If you guys want a dumpy predator for president that's your business but I will be doing my part to fight him and his unjust attacks against my country.

If tRump ever came back to say something , about what Prime Minister Trudeau is saying it would be something really stupid. tRump is destroying this country and we will never come back from this, ever.

Why is no one saying the FENTANYL EXCUSE IS JUST TRUMP GARBAGE

Trumps stupid but hes not that stupid surely? ? Why do I have a feeling that a great deal of items he's put tarrifs on will be coming from Russia soon and this has been the plan along. Just saying!\nIt just feels so contrived and I cant believe Trump hasnt got a go to! ?

You say you want to work with us hell yall have been getting over on us so you saying it’s ok for you to charge us more money for trade but where not supposed to charge yall don’t just speak half the truth

He is ridiculous! Instead saying something else!!! ?
