Trump is a bully. He knows that Canada is vulnerable. Trump wants the Auto industry in Canada moved to the U.S.. This will increase the cost of vehicles in the U.S. Trump does not care. If he can harm Canada he will be pleased. He wants to control Canada.. Canada is guilty of not arranging an alternative to the Keystone pipeline. The U.S. refineries need the Canadian heavy oil. If Canada had created pipelines to Vancouver they would be in a better position but as it is Trump wins.

As an American, I am so Proud of President Trump! If my neighbors in Canada had done what was right and stopped the flow of fentanyl from coming into Canada and flowing into my country, little Justin wouldn’t be crying right now in front of a camera. Hey Justin, how many of your politicians were paid off to allow fentanyl to continue flowing? None, you say? So it was just incompetence then? I don’t think that you care because you are on your way OUT! I hope my Canadian friends do better!

Hello from Germany ??! Let’s do trade on gas, oil and more! (Germany and Europe) I must say: great speech and with all respect ? Canada ? was represented here, even his ratings are not good. But this was a historic speech and address which no other leader in Canada do better ??

Right you are, Trump has to learn the hard way what it means to screw his friends and throw contracts in the trash! We're stopping all cooperation, then we'll see who can do it better: sit it out and wait!

You Americans better go get aluminum foil

More power to you canada! USA, I hope you will get better soon

You better act on this Trudeau... And also Banned is to be in place he's a criminal

My indigenous American background has tought me better than this and we stand with Canada, UK, Mexico and Europe. It's shameful what is happening here in the US and I just want everyone to know that there's many of us that do not agree with what's going on. We don't stand with Russia or any dictatorship. Now let's see how many hate comments I get and from what side, it'll be crystal clear who's who. Ukraine we also stand with you ??

It's about bullying and control. Trump wants to side with Putin. Maga you better wake up because Trump and Musk DONT CARE ABOUT US.

Better get used to it Canada (and Europe), your nearest neighbour is now officially a Friend and Ally of Putin and Russia!\nThis is the Real Donald Trump we are now seeing. \nHe's been deeply involved with them for Decades, maybe now we need to know why?

Trudeau does a better job of explaining this than the Democrats have this far. That’s pathetic.

Don’t be fooled. Trudeau has tanked the Canadian economy through disastrous mismanagement during his 9 year tenure. Our debt has ballooned, inflation has neutered the Canadian dollar, we are taxed into oblivion, face an unparalleled housing crisis that is linked to foreign money laundering schemes to name a few reasons. If he had not handcuffed our energy sector with pipeline bans and crushing carbon neutral BS. diversified our customer base globally and promoted home grown manufacturing instead, we could deal better absorbing Trump’s ill advised tariff war. JT is the poster child for the globalist agenda (read WEF) and has been convicted of ethics violations in multiple instances. He’s an actor (literally) and virtue signalling fool. His stats regarding the fentanyl problem are laughable considering we inspect less than 1 % of the foreign containers passing through Vancouver. Trump has inadvertently handed JT a lifeline for the Liberals political future and he’s capitalizing on it. Don’t buy the BS. Think about JT’s political record and apply that knowledge going forward.

We got better beer and booze anyways ??

To americans, the guy talking is no better than trump. Look up F off trudeuau to see how much canadians hates this guy.

@Justin , Donald is anything but smart ?.\nYou know better, he’s a fool

Canadians better not disagree, he will freeze your bank accounts...

Someone sounds scared. Everything will be better for Canada once Tardo is gone. Hang in there nucks.

American here from California, we stand with Canada, Ukraine, never Russia. We’re so heartbroken & angry with is happening in the US. Impeach Trump & his cronies then we can have a better world.

I am from Alberta, Canada and would like to thank all the American people that have said that they stand with Canada. YOU CAN HELP. Call or write to your various levels of government and let them know that this is wrong and will hurt everyone in the US and Canada. The sooner that the US government realizes this is a no win situation, the better for all of us. Also, thank you to everyone around the world for your support. I am Canadian, I am strong and free and I will fight for my country and for my family.

As a Canadian and not a Justin fan, I will say that no other person or leader could have said this any better, well done Justin, you made me proud to be a Canadian. FU Trump!

Trudeau would be the better US President

Wow Trudeau is a way better leader than I thought. I am impressed by his response to Donald Trump.

Canadian president is so much better than the American one! Clear, articulate, smart, decisive, and with his country’s citizens interests at heart.

Regardless of what “side” or team your on you have to recognize these politicians are using us as pawns in a war. We are the collateral. It’s a pissing contest and they’re both playing chicken with how much they will let their people suffer in the name of “winning”. Stop glazing these people. Hop off and wipe your mouth. Your guys not better than the other they will both use you as human meat shields to fight their wars.

Is Zelensky crawling back to kiss Trump's ring?? I heard he was. Y'all better stand up to evil politics instead of bending over.\n\nUS extorting resources from their ally = colonialism.

I would like to say this, Canada we do understand. I thank GOD I seen the evil in Trump and his buddies. It's call spiritual discernment. You people that believe in Christ, you better put your trust in the good LORD.

What a prick. Acting like putin is a criminal and dupporting that teprobate killer zelensky. Outrageous. And outrageous trying to pretend the US is evil. Go ahead canada, kiss his butt. The US will dirvive better than canada. And hes trying to subvert the US citizen. But he doesnt want to do crap about the border. His own nayives suffer kidnaping for himan trafficking constantly. \nTrudeau is a woke lefty and a little tyrant. We arent hust talking fentanyl here castro jr.

It‘s gonna be a long four years with that US administration. Biden in the nursing home would have been better.

As a Canadian I’m still not clear on how counter tariffs help Canadians? Won’t this just make things more expensive for us? Shouldn’t we just realign our allies for imports/exports? Can someone help me out here? Don’t tell me it’s just because we need to respond in kind so not to be ‘bullied’. You’ll need to do better than that. Seems like only governments win in tariff wars - not their citizens.

Maybe people in the United States should educate themselves on basic economics before they cast a vote. Better yet, increase your vocabulary so you know definitions of buzzwords like “tariff”.

From UK and am so impressed by the conviction of your government standing up for your country and against this abismal behaviour. Sympathy to the Americans who could see Trump for the villain that he is and are having to endure this. You deserve better. We all do. Standing with you, Canada, Ukraine, Europe and UK.

As an American, did that weasel Trudeau just threaten us?! Um, he better backstep while he still has time. Canada has NO product that we Americans cannot replace with an American made one in a matter of months. Fertilizer is an easy one, Our farmers just need to go back to using natural animal/yuman waste which is ecactly what used to be done. It even saves farmers billions $ because they create a use for waste they now pay to have to process for removal. Lumber and products are also an easy fix. We Americans have millions of acres of timber that actually NEEDS regular harvest to reduce the forest fires that plague us yearly. The list goes on, and not a single item cannot be MADE IN AMERICA that we currently get from Canada.

It's not like some of us didn't see it coming. Better gear up. We ain't seen NOTHING yet.

why does it feel likes Trudeau is doing better now after his resignation then he has in the past?

There is no one better than our Prime Minister!°

I think Canada will be better off than the US with these Tariff’s. The US government is grifting their people while Canada will help their businesses. Trump doesn’t care about US citizens, only his own glory.

Well we cant go to Canada now if your passport says American, i guess Mexico will be next, those islands off our coast are looking better and better to live

And trump better not try to take canada

Thank you, MAGA. This was your choice. Had more of you taken the time to think critically, educate yourselves, and rise above outdated, divisive ways of thinking, we could be in a better place. Some of you voted for him not because of his policies or because you lack sense, but simply for the spectacle-because you were bored and wanted to 'see what happens! Well, now we all have to live with the consequences.

I come from a long line of Canadian’s, I’m not a fan of Trudeau but I have to say he made me proud today standing up to the school yard bully. I know most Americans don’t support what Trump is doing because as Canadian and Americans we are decent hard working people who don’t need a government that doesn’t speak for the people God bless us all the world needs to find a way for peace our children and grandchildren deserve better.

WOW, this is what I miss in The White House. The SHAME I Feel for what the president has done to Our Friend is SHAMEFUL. AMERICA WE ARE BETTER THAN THAT ?

Better USA becomes a state of Canada

0:30 I'll make it make sense: Trump is a Russian asset. There are no winners in a trade war, but there's a clear winner looking on from Moscow. On the off chance Trump is NOT a Russian asset, he still could not be behaving like a better one, and that's what matters. Should we be even worrying where the true loyalties of a person are, when they're deliberately sinking the ship?

Trudeau is my hero. Compare him with orange buffoon and you know why we have better politicians. I feel sorry for my American brothers and sisters, if they might hurt due to all these non-sense. We equally feel for you but put yourself in our shoes and think!!!!

You know I'm so sorry this idiot did this to you when I'm from the United States and I'm really sorry you're right the world's going to go crazy and it's going to be the United States it's going to pay for it and you know maybe one day we can all move to Canada where we can have a better life than to Trump's out of office if he doesn't become a dictator you never know what could happen in life he already is a dictator I finally got away from all that and we all came in the United States for peace not for what we're going through right now I'm sorry Canada sorry Mexico I'm sorry the rest of the world but I voted the right way and other people voted the wrong way and some people are understanding what they did and some people are still sticking by what they did so hopefully somewhere else could be some peace for some Americans in some way or another

PP for PM CANADA ?? ? ? ????????????????????\nRight Man in right positions with realistic ideas for better quality life Canadians people ?????????

as a Canadian, i would like to thank Donald and Elon for their plans to implement the most innovative degrowth agenda imaginable. why dance around the edges like Canada has with its consumer carbon tax that rebated more money to most citizens than they spent on carbon taxes ? no, the DOGE solution to addressing climate change is much better .. just cripple the three north american economies with tariffs, put hundreds of thousands of citizens out of work, and make the Trump tax cuts permanent so that the federal government is broke as well. no more money means no more spending or consuming .. it's a win for the entire planet !!

To our friends around the world we appreciate and love your kind words of support. We also open our doors and wallets to trade! We got lots to offer and keen to welcome new friends and expand our relations beyond the ease of our next door neighbours. We love them but they’ve hopefully temporarily lost their minds. We hope they come to their senses but in the meantime- let’s build some bridges and get back to making the world a better place for everyone! Maple syrup, apples, blueberries, potatoes and rye whiskey for all- let a new era of international prosperity begin!

Wait, Trudeau is still around? Btw, Not a trade war (which Canada would get destroyed in), but more of a border war. Simply police our mutual border better and make our trade fair— that easy!

Have better trade then
