Unfortunate that Trudeau seems to think that targeting Republican states will improve things. Better to just sit back and let Trumps tariffs do the harm to the US consumer that they will do.

I dont like Trudeau at all but he sounded very presidential right there.....pun intended!!

I guess starting a trade war with America is preferred over securing the bloody border. All because that pipsqueak Trudeau and his party are desperate to gain credibility before they're annihilated in the next election. And all you people counting on oil exports to Europe to make up for the tens of billions Canada will loose in trade with America, guess you forgot that the Liberals have seriously curtailed oil/LNG production and exports. Not only has Trudeau created alienation and division within Canada, now he's destroying relations with our most trusted ally.

Hasnt Trudeau been fired? Why is he still here?

Canadian should be very proud to have Trudeau to speacks for us all thank you

Trudeau, you are an idoit, it already has a 200 billion consequence on us.

now Trudeau is Lecturing Americans?

This is Trudeau's fault. He has no forsite and did not do his job on time.

Now that Trudeau has retaliated, I see the prices of veggies, fruits and such items would rise and never come down. The retaliation seems to be against the common folks on both sides.

Not a Trudeau fan here but I think this is the right response. Although this whole business will most hurt those who are already in deep financial crisis.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau, merci beaucoup! Your address to our proud nation Saturday night helped my family and me feel safer. It's much like during COVID-19 when you were there for Canadians at every step, every turn with initiatives and concrete help. Too bad we cannot procure masks and vaccines to ward off Trump-25. You, your Ministers and Premiers are working so hard trying to reason with a lunatic addicted to power and chaos and inform Americans of the facts. With prorogation, there have been no Poilièvre shenanigans to waste time on and your complete focus has been, as always, on protecting Canadians. For this I thank you again and tell you how much you will be missed in our household. Forgive a personal note: I hope you and Mme Grégoire will find your way back to each other when you can be a family without the heavy burden of this job, a job I know you love. And very personally - I shall miss the handsome, capable, well-spoken man of stature and intellect who also happens to be my Prime Minister. Vraiment!

Isn’t Canada ultra expensive as is?… Trudeau didn’t think this thru… life in Canada just got waaayyy more costly \n\nAll trump wants is to secure your damn borders. Oh but wait that would actually cost you money. \n\nAnd for all the comments about oil/gas\n\nAmerica has our own.. we will be just fine

There's probably no cell phone reception on the Golf Course, so Trump didn't know Trudeau was trying to contact him.

50 % Mr Trump to tyrant Trudeau and open border send all Ilegals to Canada all Venezuela gangs Haiti Honduras They will go instead to their countries Canada is communist country They are playing with fire Europe has no money give free

Any decision Trudeau makes hurts Canadians.

is Trudeau playing the 'my dad can beat up your dad', while stomping his foot? I love Canada, and Canadians are frankly, terrific. If this leader in all his years of bing PM has made one good decision, I'd say it is time to get yourself a new PM.

I dont like Trudeau but this is the Golden Opputuniry for Trudeau to Bounce BACK as a STRONG leader and if manages to pull up CANADA and humble TRUMP then he will become a HERO but looking at the Trudeau Past Records dealing with BIG Countries, it seems TRUMP will swallow him without WATER. All the BEST CANADA and Canadians

Cant believe that trudeau is making more sense than trump.

Not a fan of Trudeau by any stretch but that was an excellent speech

Do not forget when Germany asked for gas from Canada Trudeau said it was nit in the climate agenda.

So let me get this straight. Trudeau is imposing tariffs on the U.S. to make everything Canadians import from the U.S. that they need more expensive to Canadians and Trump is doing the same thing for everything from Canada though we need none of it and therefore will stop buying any of it. This will not go well for Canada. Ouch!!!

Trudeau is an embarrassment to Canada !!

THE WORST THING YRUDEAU DID TO CANADA. NOW WE ARE GOING TO SUFER EVEN MORE! TRUDEAU HAS TAXED YOU EVEN MORE. DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TERAFFS WILL DO TO YOU THAT TRUDEAU HAS JUST DONE? NOW YOU WILL PAY EVEN MORE FOR EVERYTHING!

Trudeau is to blame not Trump

Justin Trudeau is exactly the strong leader Canada need and wants.

Why doesn't Trudeau ask Trump what he is doing to curb the fentanyl problem in the US, that is where the consumption is as the president of Mexico has already pointed out. No one ever confronts Trump with anything.

Trump just revitalized Trudeau… looks like PP, his guy in Canada just went into a nosedive in the polls… and the conservatives are seen now as the Canadian MAGA that just caused such a disaster in their nest… it’s been eye opening for the world….

Trudeau is a tyrant and will be dealt with appropriately

Trudeau has already destroyed Canada so bad. Canada will be crushed in this tariffs war to such an extent that it will finally beg America to take it in as 51st state.

Can u really believe or trust what Trudeau and the Mexican say? ?. I don’t blame Trump

Trudeau should have made it 26%

Expat in Mexico. She is correct the USA needs to stop the Demand for Hard Drugs but Mexico should Stop caravans? trump is Dealing. Trudeau is a Lame DUCK.

Trudeau showing how daft he really is. Gonna look really dumb when forced to back down sooner rather than later.

Justin trudeau is one of the Fooliest Pm i ever seen Same as his dad he was also a fool so he is

This is a mistake by Trudeau and will continue to hurt Canada and Canadians until he is removed from office.

Lady Trudeau ?

Trudeau doesn’t need to implement tariffs. I suspect Canadians are abandoning US imports which will \nLower demand for US goods without hurting the Canadian taxpayer.

Go drink a hot chocolate and go take a nap, Trudeau. You all should vote Joel Thomas Zimmerman for your next Prime Minister!

The 1.6 billion dollars Trudeau said he “pledged” to border security is to be spread out over 6 years! Which basically at this point none of it has beeen spent. It is a laughable amount to try to appease trumps request and trump is smart enough to read the fine print in the border security bill o know that Trudeau isn’t taking border security seriously.

Trudeau is on his way out but he has the backing of all of Canada against these brutal US tariffs

25% tariffs against billions of dollars worth of goods was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier today. Billions Dementia Donald. For the simpletons, that means most everything you buy from Canada will be 25% more expensive, even toilet paper.

Thank you Prime Minister Trudeau for standing strong.

Trudeau looks so astonishing weak. Embarrassing.

This retaliation means that Canada and Mexico could care less about illegals letting in Fentanyl into the US. THEY DON'T CARE, and neither do you in the comments until your family members are victims of fentanyl. Isn't Trudeau supposed to be resigning?

CANADIANS WANT ELECTION NOW! Trudeau must go now! ??

TRUDEAU MUST GO NOW! 77% of Canadians want election now. Canadians cannot stand having Trudeau as PM!

mr Modi and mr Trudeau! is a good friends that could be one reason this

sean fraser, marc miller, justin trudeau should be in jail. They are criminals. Canada has been completely obliterated by these absolute IDIOTS

Lots of clips of Trudeau but no mention of Stephen Harper and his impact on the housing crisis.

Trudeau destroyed Canada ?
