Oh please! Canada has been taking advantage for years. It’s past time we make it more equal.

Oh, these comments are just hilarious.\nI've not seen one comment in disagreement of the speech you just made. What happened to all of them? Someone sorted and took them all down to pretend like every single person that commented was standing behind Canada. Hilarious. Of course we know this will be tough. You do what you have to do and USA will do what USA has to do. As a US citizen I have NEVER felt welcome crossing your border legally to visit while on vacation. You Trudeau are a joke.

American here. Family moved to Canada ?? after American Revolutionary War (yep family was a royalist). Stayed in Oh Canada for over 100 years. As an American ?? (country I love) - I stand with Canada ?? even though it will cost me & other lower / middle classes $$$$. Not Canada’s fault. It is the fault of the orange ? man who is a pretender POTUS. A man who kisses Putin’s ring. A man who protects billionaires & trillionaires… not the majority of U.S. Americans. He doesn’t care about the grossly misguided people who voted for him - they are finding out now! Stay Strong Canada ??! Thank you for standing up to this American Bully! So many of us are ashamed, disgusted, and so sorry! ❤??❤??

oh yes canada should be able to continue to screw the USA sorry were not the worlds b...h any more.

Oh Canada... ❤ California.

It’s nice to see Trudeau talking like he has a pair. He spent the last 9 years destroying Canada so let’s not act like all our problems today are Trumps fault. Too little too late my friend. You should’ve woken up earlier but it took Trump for Canadian politicians to realize oh wait maybe we shouldn’t have all our eggs in one basket ? - from a Canadian

When trump recommended terrifs everyone cried “oh that will only hurt Americans” but then Canada does it in response and everyone cheers? Like isn’t he by your own logic now screwing Canadians? Which is it people?

Ouch. OH Canada!! How is it possible to piss of nice people, like the Canadians.

OH CANADA STAND TALL AND FIRM ?

putin & donnie plan to coordinate a takeover starting with the US (which donnie has already initiated). Thank you PM Trudeau - you and others please keep standing up to him because our own representatives are cowards who choose power, prestige, privilege and profits over their constituents. donnie has already bowed down to putin. donnie has missed the fact that fentanyl is smuggled in via container ships from china along with mailed packages and trucks from Mexico. Agents can inspect at the borders until the cows come home but smugglers will always come up with new ways to hide contraband. Oh yeah, donnie is NOT a “very smart guy”. The WSJ is wrong on that point. Don’t feed his ego.\nStay strong Canada ❤

Oh, my God. I want to live in Canada ???

Oh Canada you speak big but your gdp is smaller than California by 2! Your trade war doesn’t scare the blue collar working man. We went through a Biden presidency!! Lol

Oh Canada I’m so scared! Don’t act so tough 51st state

Irrelevant woke Canada in need of diapers and a pacifier. Let's be honest, Canada has always been a virtual 51st state aside from being a monarch territory. After all, the King of England's face was quickly and proudly put on the currency when his Mommy Queen expired. Oh and let us not forget that the 51st state proudly gave standing ovations to NAZIS in the monarch owned parliament.

Oh shit, no electricity for hamburgerland soon? Go Canada! And Trump is an unclefucker. Canada should join European Union btw?

Oh Canada

Oh Canada ?? ♥️

Oh canada you smell the dirty fess

Trump is a Rabid Animal and So is Musk. Canada, Ontario just over the border from me. I love Canada. Wish I could move there. They are an hour and a half away. They are not stupid like us. Fetanyl not as damaging as this lumatic Trump/Musk and his sycophsnts anialiating all allies. So ashamed. Oh Canada I love you.

Trump pissed of Canada, they are like the Labradoodles of allies - who hates a Labradoodle? Oh yeah, putin's baby boy....

Donny the dictator trump will not last long…. He’s pissing everyone off who isn’t in his suck up club. Donnyboy only thinks about himself and how much money he can acquire. Oh, I’m sure Putin is going to enrich donnyboy well. Stand strong Canada. From a loving neighbor in NY state.

Hey Canada did you guys forget what Justin did to those truckers ? Canceling their bank accounts. Oh how easily you guys forget

I love Justin Trudeau! OH Canada how much i love you!

Oh boohoo Canada we got more resources than them and don't in noway need them

Oh Canada, most of US are so so sorry about this. You are our closest ally and neighbor and friend.

Oh 125 billion huh trump can subsidized canada for 100 billion for the deficit. Smh watch what happens

OH JUSTIN YOU ARE SO RIGHT THIS IS VERY PERSONAL YOU MADE FUN OF HIM AND HE IS TAKING REVENGE, BUT PRESIDENT CHUMP OBVIOUSLY CANNOT SEPERATE BUSINESS FROM HIS PERSONAL PROBLEMS, THE WHOLE WORLD DOES NOT LIKE THIS GUY WHEN HIS TERM IN OFFICE IS OVER THE ONLY TWO PLACES THAT HE WOULD BE WELCOME IN IS HIS HOME COUNTRY AND RUSSIA AND I AM NOT SO SURE ABOUT RUSSIA I WROTE ON YOUTUBE BEFORE THAT THIS GUY IS SINKING THE AMERICAN FLEET FAST AND MORE THOROUGHLY THAN THE JAPANESE DID AT PEARL HAROR MAN AT THIS MOMENT THE TWO WORST NATIONALITIES TO BE IS AMERICAN AND RUSSIAN THEY BOTH ARE CAUSING GREAT HARM NOT ONLY TO THE WORLD, BUT MOSTLY TO THEIR OWN PEOPLE AND COUNTRIES TALK ABOUT SELFISH LEADER'S. PRESIDENT CHUMP WAS RIGHT ABOUT ONE THING WITH THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW IT IS NOT IF WE WILL ENGAGE EACH OTHER IN A WORLD WAR, BUT WHEN THE LEADER'S WE HAVE NOW ARE STEERING THE HUMAN RACE IN THAT DIRECTION AND PRESIDENT CHUMP YOU AND PRESIDENT POUTINE WILL BE CHIEFLY RESPONSIBLE. THE LEADER'S WE HAVE ELECTED TODAY ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE MISERY IN THE WORLD TODAY. LEADER'S LIKE PRESIDENT KENNEDY, GHANDI, CHURCHILL ETC. TODAY WE HAVE LEADER'S LIKE TRUDEAU WHO CREATED MISERY AND DIVISION IN CANADA THE FORE MENTIONED LEADER'S ALREADY METIONED ARE DIRECTED BY PERSONAL GREED AND AMBITION AND HYPOCRACY.

Oh give me a break! Canada has been right along with the U.S on becoming friends with murderous dictators. Saudi Arabia for one. All the middle east folks, the warlords etc. Don't be fooled. All those people up there are not looking out for your best interests.

My guess is, if Canada joins America as a province, it would be good, America could be really big for the next strategy against Russia + PRC, because it connects America, Canada, Alaska, it's really a big country, oh I forgot about Mexico too. Bigest in the world... Then lets warrrr

Oh no Canadian products lmfao what are those exactly? Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada. Gas prices are the only thing going to change in the US which will also hurt Canada since the pipeline is interconnected.

Oh no mention of the Fact that Canada's Tariffs are 3 Times higher on us!! Do the research people.

Our Prime Minister fibbed on one aspect 'Donald is NOT a smart man' There, fixed it. Oh, Canada! The True north strong and free.

Oh no!!!! Canada is going to tariff us. What ever shall we do. FAFO dipshit.

Oh Canada \nWish you were my home and native land

Why can't we have a mature leader like Canada has??? Oh, maga voted for an imbecile - sorry world, it was not me that did that!!

Oh sanp, i forgot I walked into the woke media, guess what canada free trade this free trade that. But has the audacity to charge us a tariff but cry when it happens to you. Protection of your air space isn't free and offsetting your military while you sit back and do nothing is over. The rent is due, time to pay up.

Let me explain the trading relationship briefly that occurs between Canada and the US for context. \n \nCanada Has a LOT of natural resources, more than our domestic manufacturing base needs (Uranium fuel, Lumber/paper products, Steel and other metals, Fertilizer for farms...etc). Therefore we sell those raw materials to the states where they are manufactured into goods, which we then buy back. a LOT of American service companies like tech, media (And yes, even banks)...etc also operates in Canada as well. (For the auto sector the parts flip back and forth across the border like 8 times) \n \nThis relationship alone has the American economy see a large trade surplus with Canada, however there is another element to it: Energy. \n \nCanada is also home to a LARGE amount of really cheap renewable hydro power in the east, and a LOT of oil in the west, due to a lack of infrastructure we really can only sell that oil to the states and therefore it is done at a discount. America refines this cheap oil into gas and is a large part of the reason why American gas is so cheap. They use this energy to power the same factories mentioned above. (Oh and also the NE states import a lot of that clean hydro electricity for the same reasons) \n \nThe US Buys SO MUCH of that cheap energy from us to power your industrial base, that it swings the numbers on the trade balance into a small deficit for the USA. (41 billion out of a TRILLION dollars total trade, or about -4.1% of total trade so literally a pretty small deficit) It also swing back and forth every year so \n \nThen comes Trump. He wants Canada as a 51st state and own the entire continent, therefore he manufactures an excurse that our border is leaky and that migrants and fentanyl are flowing over. (In actual case migrants and the flow of Fent is about 1% the amount that's crossing at the Mexico border but he needs an excuse) \n \nHe therefore puts 25% tariffs on us. Those tariffs will hit Canada harder than the 2008 financial crisis just for scale. \n \nOh and also for the most part American Refineries literally cant process any other oil than ours or Venezuela's because its thicker so tariffs on our oil will also really increase the priced of energy in the states by a huge amount just for the LOLs. As we've seen during the post covid recovery, since gas is priced in to the supply chain at every step (Manufacturing, transportation...etc), any increase at the pump will snowball into higher costs for everything at the store, on top of the extra cost of the tariffs on consumers. (Since every step will need to add it into their markup.)

Oh Canada \nWish you were my home and native land

Oh no. It’s Canada. What will we do? Give me break.

CANADA should fire this idiot. Oh wait ,they did.

Oh no! Canada is mad! ?? \nGuess whose economy is bigger????

So come get us with your military. Oh, right. Canada is realizing how one-sided this relationship is now.

That speech makes me want my Blue state to join Canada as their newest province! Why can’t we have leaders like him who are articulate, respect facts and do rational actions? Oh, because 50% of the electorate in the US are uneducated morons.

doews trump think we just let people threw the bofder they are very clever at smuggling the usa isnt doing anything to secure our border how many guns and drugs come onto canada oh that doesnt count right all that counts is america thats there problem everything is about them and we will win trump you can never beat us

Your just as bad as putin. What automobiles does Canada produce ? Oh none so maybe we dont sell you any cars from now on. We'll see who wins this.

Oh Canada... Us like minded need to align tighter now that Trump is misleading USA with lies and putin's advises. Let's hope Americans wake up and understands that the orange man is dangerous to them. Please don't let his Crypto scam happen. Thank you Trudeau for being a voice of a reason.

Bloody good damned speech, Trudeau. Thank you. Sorry to lose Jack. But. Oh well. Rather be on side side of this rubbish. Canada, your the damned best. Thank you for helping us out.

Proud of my Prime Minister. Oh Canada

Oh no, what shall I do without all those Canadian products....wait, I cant find anything made in Canada in my entire house.....
