Bravo Trudeau ! Never thought you had it in you. Unlike our fawning PM Starmer you have shown Canadians has the courage to hit back at bullies. Straight talking , plain speaking non of the arrogance, the lies , the gangster threats of the disgraceful Trump regime.

Prime Minister Trudeau, thank you for being reasonable, rational and calm. Trump puts billionaires first not the 99% of us. We do not want to harm our Canadian friends and we will work hard to impeach Donald.

The United States is BANKRUPT! That is the only reason that makes sense why Trump needs tariffs on product from other countries (Trump Needs to have his people buy American). The USA needs all the money spent on themselves rather than on foreign products. This is also why Trump is pulling a Putin by trying to invade friendly countries, Even this action is to try to force Canada to become part of the United States so that they will own and Control our natural resources. The thing that the USA forgets is Canadians are Proud and Resistant to threats. We will remember this for a long time and even if this ILLEGAL ACTION works you will gain 40 MILLION TERRORISTS Hell bent on killing all Americans!

I stand for Canadian. I don’t agree Trump tariff war. Only will ruin US economy. Bring higher inflation.

Trump is not a friend he is an enemy to Canadians and to us in the U.S.

We don't want to see Canadians hurt, either. It's all very unnecessary and intended only to appease the bottomless ego of a tyrant. Donald Trump imposed tariffs on your country. The American people did not. We are sorry, and we will do all we can to use the processes in place to remove Trump and his elected supporters from power as soon as we can.

He’s my Prime Minister!!! ??. Canada has done everything trump wanted but trump (true to form) has moved the goal posts. He never intended to honour his agreement with my country. ??. He’s a dishonourable man and he violated his own free trade agreement with Mexico the US and Canada. We are moving on from trusting the US. I’ve cancelled plans to vacation in the US. I will only buy Canadian or from our trusted allies (EU China Japan etc). I love the US but there are some very bizarre and stupid people in your country. Your greatest weakness. God help us all.

CNN is anti Trump, Wall Street Journal is anti Trump, Canadian PM is cozing up with Zelensky who fought with Trump the other day, Canada has been taking USA for a ride on tariffs for so long, which President is trying to correct for which American people have voted him overwhelmingly, today's pain will be tomorrow's gain!

dont kid yourselves people, he's no better than trump. He has taxed Canadians to death, whats another 25%. Most people can't even buy a house, if you can even find one affordable. Survived 9 years of this POS, we'll survive these tariffs too.

Principles for Dealing with The Changing World Order By Ray Dalio. \nAlthough it may seem like Trump is hurting the economy at the time being. He is doing the US economy a long term favor. Nothing personal against our fellow Canadians. We love our allies. But the US needed a Leader like Trump after the Bummy Biden administration. God Bless EVERYONE reading this comment. We will all make it through this.

Trudeau is able to combine words to make convincing sentences, unlike Trump, who falters and stumbles when three or four words are combined. I hope that Canadians win. And if anyone hasn't noticed, Trudeau has spoken fluently without a script.

I am buying and supporting Canadian and NOT buying anything imported from America. Trump is no more than a thug.

Trudeau blaming Trump when all he had to do was secure Canadian borders. What an idiot.

11:55 of course trump was not interested in doing a LEGAL minerals deal with Canada, he would rather join putin and STEAL President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people mineral wealth. That is the ONLY reason putin invaded Ukraine. For Ukraine mineral wealth ? much love from The Bahamas to President ZIELINSKI and the Ukrainian people ??????? keep fighting for your country and democracy. Hats off to Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and the Canadian people for standing firm against trump and doing the right thing #glorytoUkraine #TheBahamas #242ToTheWorld #Canada

didnt canadians want to get rid of justin now hes using trump as a scape goat to stay in power longer get him out

I'm proud to be canadian, Trump will not win!

Just so our Canadian brother and sisters know 231 million American people DID NOT WANT THIS! those 77 million Maga maggots and Donald Trump DO NOT represent us, AT ALL!! he and his goons will single-handedly destroy this Country. I'm so incredibly sorry this is happening!

We, the Canadians, stand by our government. We are prepared to go through this and come out well . We did not fight this fight and we feel for those who did not vote for Trump in America

I'm no American neither Canadian but if you want to fix the rift go meet trump and tell him you assigned part of your defence budget in manning the border to counter this fentanyl issue.\nThen again the fentanyl might be an excuse but I would do it still had I been Canadian leader

It's good to see the Canadian Prime Minister confronting Trump in this way. But I think he should stop lying. Trump is NOT intelligent. Trump is an imbecile. Trump is as dumb as a rock. Trump is a moron. All you TV commentators, and other world leaders need to stand up and start telling the truth. Donald Jessica Trump is possibly the dumbest person on the face of the earth today.

Inflation cominnup cuz biden he did Trump never did . And why biden give 300 billón dollars to ucraine. You. Canadian. . bla bla bla. Never Say ..Word to biden hmmm

This is almost political interference from Canada trying to attack trump over this and to try and turn Americans against each other. Most Canadians will tell you this guy needs to go.

Love Canadians leader. He’s awesome! Stands up to that Bas-ard trump.

Dear Justin, 75 million Americans voted against Donald Trump in the recent election. We appreciate your speaking directly to us today and in recent speeches you have given. We know what a good ally you have been to the US and we also know your primary concern is to Canadian citizens. While many of us have done what we could do and we also know the current trade arrangement was negotiated with you by Donald Trump in his previous term which leaves many of us scratching our heads. For my part it deeply saddens me that this has happened and all we ask or all that I ask is that you remember those of us who did not vote for this. Slightly less than half of the country. When this is over, and it will end one day we look forward to breaking bread with Canada again.

I'm a firm America and Americans first and Trump supporter, but I also love Canada. I hope we can figure this out for both of our beautiful countries. Canadians are our friends, but I also support Trump and putting America first. I hope he knows what he is doing. God Bless America and God Bless Canada. God Bless President Trump!

Canadian here. Let me share this with people that may not know much about the history our country.\n\nIf you want to understand just how pissed off Canadians are with the US right now, here is one lil detail. Quebec, a province that has LONG grappled with wanting to secede from Canada is now proudly waving the flag in defiance of Trump's nonsense. \n\n\nLet that sink in.

As an American, I am ashamed of our president. I apologize to the Canadian people and want them to know that the vast majority of Americans do not support what our president is doing. We will do what we can to stop him, and I hope when this insanity is over, you can forgive us and we can restore our relationship. We know that because of Donald Trump's stupid actions, we will have a lot of work to do in restoring your trust in us. Again, I apologize.

Trudy is lecturing US , and we give Trudy billions of dollars because he can't run his own country, Ha ha ha ha. Trump will cut off his allowance too. We really don't need his stinkin canadian bacon and maple syrup. MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, Trudy take your fertelizer and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Oh that's right, you're full of it already.

What's the trolling horse? Cause Trump is doing stuff and nobody's watching what he's doing. Guess what? This can be World War 3, no matter what Canadians do to protect their borders. He aint gonna be satisfied anyway, so we gotta cut our resources and go somewhere else. Take our goods and baskets out of the basket. And start dealing outside of the US that was our big mistake we don't want to deal with Russians. This putin is nothing but a dictator please nobody

Trudeau! Nobody likes you. You’re done. We want to vomit when you speak. You are a disgrace to this Country. You’ve ran our country into the gutter, killing hundreds of thousands of Canadian citizens with your reckless policies and corrupt agenda’s. Stop playing the victim you wounded narcissist. Canada deserves these tariffs. This is all on you. I pray daily that this country will be saved. The light keeps getting brighter as we inch closer to that election! Thank god for Pierre Poilievre!! And we love you Donald Trump!

AS A CANADIAN I HOPE TRUMP RAISES THE TARRIFS TO 70% ON CANADA UNTIL TRUDEAU A DICTATOR THAT REFUSES TO CALL AN ELECTION AND GOES AWAY 2:02

He is rubbing it on to thick! From his address to Canadians Trump will take it as he has the upper hand!

fellow Anglo-Saxon clowns are fighting each other, this is the rotten Canadian Prime Minister who says Canadians are polite, even though they are America's pawns, in the past a Huawei official who is a Chinese citizen was arrested by Canada on Trump's orders, now they have finally gotten their karma by being charged with tariffs by Trump, the Canadian nation likes to suck up and now they feel how America is destroying Canada, like Canada doing evil to China.

It's unfortunate our current Prime Minister is on his way out. I sure hope my fellow Canadians do not elect Trump butt kisser Pierre polieve. Americans, we love you, we love to visit your beautiful country, every American I've met has been so friendly but America, how did you elect that trouble maker?

I no longer believe there is anything Trump could do to deter his supporters. He’s openly aligning with dictators and bullying our allies, dismantling checks and balances and consolidating power, even talked about a third term?! Everyone in the government going along with him clearly has dollar signs in their eyes and a “if you can’t beat him, join him” mentality. Sorry Canadians. If you’re worried, I promise we are too. At least I am.

Fentanyl is an allegation only of Trump to hurt the Canadians

i am surprised to see so many canadian idiots still endorsing this clown. Trump imposes tariff today for a reason -- this clown simply has inherently different philosophy and that is the reason Canada is punished today. Set aside right or wrong from the US side, a truly responsible leader should mitigate damage instead of soliciting them, and seek ways out instead of putting oil on fire.

Who's going to explain to Trump that US refineries don't process us oil. We need Canadian and Venezuelan oil. Guess we are getting Russian oil

Trudeau is a joke and trump knows it. You simple minded Canadians think Trudeau cares about Canada? Then why in spite of implemented tariffs is he still jacking up carbon tax April 1st? Wake up

Wow, wouldn’t it be nice to have a president that could speak as well as the Prime Minister of Canada. I hope that Canadians understand that most Americans are totally embarrassed and appalled at what Donald Trump is doing.

Why hi is still there? He is nobody and most Canadians hate him. Canada need different person to make a deal with Trump, not this one.

Can I become a Canadian? I am trapped in Trump hell.

*Canada's Response to US Tariffs: A Measured Approach*\n\n*Executive Summary*\n\nIn response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Canadian goods, Canada has announced a robust countermeasure. Effective immediately, Canada will impose 25% tariffs on $20.7 billion worth of imported goods from the US. This initial phase is part of a larger plan to impose tariffs on up to $155 billion worth of US goods, should the current tariffs remain in place.\n\n*Key Highlights*\n\n- *Tariffs on $20.7 Billion Worth of US Goods*: Canada's initial response includes tariffs on various products, such as:\n - Food and beverages: orange juice, peanut butter, wine, spirits, beer, coffee\n - Consumer goods: appliances, apparel, footwear, motorcycles, cosmetics\n - Industrial products: pulp and paper products\n- *Additional Tariffs on $155 Billion Worth of US Goods*: If the current tariffs remain in place, Canada plans to impose additional tariffs on products, including:\n - Electric vehicles\n - Fruits and vegetables\n - Beef, pork, dairy\n - Electronics\n - Steel, aluminum\n - Trucks, buses\n- *Non-Tariff Options*: Canada is exploring non-tariff options, including export restrictions and investment measures.\n- *Remission Process*: A remission process has been established to consider requests for exceptional relief from the tariffs.\n\n*Rationale*\n\nCanada's response is a direct result of President Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canadian and Mexican goods, citing concerns over fentanyl trafficking and trade agreements. However, Canada has argued that the tariffs are unjustified and will have devastating consequences for both American and Canadian economies.\n\n*Conclusion*\n\nCanada's response to the US tariffs is a measured and targeted approach, aimed at protecting Canadian interests and jobs while also encouraging the US to reconsider its decision ¹ ² ³.

I live by the Canadian border. It is NOT easy to cross. Trump is lying and just trying to make himself look good even knowing tht Canada is willing to be a partner in combating illegal drugs. He wanted to get his court problems etc off his table. He had to get elected. And ELON helped that. Without Elon the shadow president he wouldn't have. Hell Elon had to pay people to vote for him.

We here in Detroit love Canada. We are ashamed of our president and his buddies, Putin and Musk. And we are so jealous of the Canadian leaders who actually speak like intelligent people and tell the truth. And why is Trump trying to blame our neighbors for our own citizens' drug abuse? Americans created the drug cartels, gave them all the money and all that power. .

Dear Canadian neighbors. \n I apologize for our crazy Karen’s trump and musk. \n Please be patient. \n I think we will both come through this in the long run. \n You are so lucky to have a President who cares for ALL OF YOU. \n A REAL MAN, not a BULLY. \n This will indeed be tough times for all of us. \n God Bless God Speed\n from USA

I think it is time to use all the unused land to grow our vegetation and any thing else that gets planted to use for the Canadian. We do have the brain and the finances to grow our own fruit even if it takes a couple of years for the plants to produce the vegetation to supply the need. We need to manufacture our own goods. It is only one simple issue we will face but it is one we can handle! Oil, gas, car parts and cars...do it here and get some of the unemployed individuals Living on Provincial Checks off their butts and put them to work. (any that can at all} It might just surprise people at how many would have a reason to get up in the morning and the self confidence they need to get rid of the very thing Trump said was killing US people and stop it from coming in from the US! If we are going to tell it lets tell the truth!.

Canadians, thank you for taking this challenge. The only way the U.S. citizens will get through this, is for countries to stand up to Trump. We will suffer, too. Again, thank you.

TRUDEAU, sit down and shut your freaking mouth. You little punk I am fourth generation British Columbian, Canadian and President Trump and Canadians have heard enough from you pie hole!

Im impressed i totally dislike Trudeau for what he's done to Canadians but I've never heard him speak so direct to America and Trump
