Nice Trudeau spent billions on tightening the border for drugs and illegals. They cant even do anything with rash of car thieves going on in Toronto. Cars get stolen goes to the shipyard to be put in cargos to be sent to Middle East or Africa. They reduse to do search warrant or halt those shipments. Waste of billion of dollars on borders.

Trump Holds All Cards. Europe & Canada have siphoned Billions while sticking it to America on Trade!!! Its called reciprocal trade!! Whatever you tax us we tax you!! The subsidizing is over. Canadian drugs kill. Cry because we match your tax in U.S. ? ???

You step up right but only now when it cost you something what about millions of our young ppl that’s been killed by this drugs for the past 4 yrs WHY DIDNT YOU STEP UP THEN ??? Just only now when it cost you something I’ve lost 4 family members and NOW you step up. We you need to step down!!!

I give a thumbs up because i actually have pride in America for the second time in my life.... your country with its weak borders is how one of the three ways fentanyl gets in ...canada Mexico and Florida are the main ways fentanyl gets in so what stupid people do drugs im not crying over it and there are few that gets tricked to take that stuff and all that help getting fentanyl to people are murderers ... hell is real so in the end those that profit will have a bad eternity so im happy

did he say he wants to wipe fentanyl from from earth but its a viable drug for several life saving durgs... its just a terrible drug in the hands of criminals and poor people looking for a cheap high

Funny. Before tariff , drugs were 97% more in dec last month according to his saying..\nDumb guy, Trudeau does not know what he was saying implied that canada was careless last year till Tariff introduced by trump. ya Dumb guy I would say

What a piece of shit. Stop mutilating children! Make drugs against the law again! Pay reparations to the people who were arrested or had their bank accounts seized because they wouldn’t take the jab or spoke out against the Canadian government. He is a talking head and a tyrant, Trudeau is no different than Hitler!!!

Now that we called Trudy out he wants to keep his imagrants and drugs in Canada ?

Well, Justina Trudeau seems to be on some very strong drug from the look in his eyes.

These tariffs are a part of Trump's revenge tour. Mexico didn't pay for the wall and Trudeau made jokes about him.\n\nThis has nothing to do with immigrants or drugs.

Stop the fentanyl and illegal immigration’s \nTrump will just up US tariffs \nSTOP THE DRUGS

What an embarrassment to Canada. Trudeau had 1 job to do: Stop the smuggling of drugs to the states from our border. Instead, he's ignored this and thinks he is justified in talking tough. What a disgrace. We deserve the tariffs for voting in Trudeau.

Use the money fighting drugs give it to average people to have a good life watch the drug problem go away

Trump business minded was never going to think about the level of drugs coming into the state s compared to Canada .

Trudeau slapping a brain cell tell the American people that you're going to do everything you can possibly do to stop drugs coming into our country and killing people

Trump wants to fight drugs, yet pardons the largest drug dealer in US history history Ross Ulbricht.

You and Carney did this to Canadians. You didn’t care about hard drugs, the border, crime ,homelessness,making Canadians broke . Trudeau the worst PM ever and the most corrupt liberal party ever

American here. I am on a limited income (Social Security) but I 100% support Canada & what Canada needs to do to counteract the actions of our incompetent, insane 'President'. Go Canada! We not-insane Americans salute you & apologize for our 'Orange Menace'. We look forward to when our governments can be friends again. Our two peoples will always be Friends! (I have family there also.) P.S. The drug issue is a fake issue on the part of the Trump Administration. We all know it's the market that drives illegal drugs-- i.e. our own drug abusers buying this stuff. Cheers, & With Hopes for a Better America. (And Slava Ukraine!)

Congratulations, as you Canadian don't control the drugs issue and chosen to fight back, good luck❤

There is a lot of talk on Fentanyl headed south, but no mention by Canada of how much of the drug heads north. I can't be zero. There has to be transit of the drug from the USA into Canada.\n\nBut what I truly don't understand, is that what heads south is not crossing through the Canadian border. All south bound traffic needs to go through US Border patrol agents. So by that measure, how is Canada not doing its job? I've crossed into Canada many times and have been asked to pull over for a search of my vehicle more times than I've been searched on my return to the USA, which was once, my very first crossing in 2002. \n\nMy only guess is the problem isn't fentanyl, that's just a distraction and by design a way to get people believing in something that isn't true and to help further the rift.

Well thank you so much it's time to fend for yourself and ourselves from all the fake stuff and stuff that matters as for drug your kids where told not to talk to strangers or do drugs that have no control you are all grown adults!

After all who is too blame for all this drug addiction in the USA we all know it was the pharmaceutical Emporium and the government… these tariffs have nothing to do with fentanyl it’s an evil plan which is going to hurt all of the 3 countries in North America ??

This just in Trudeau discovered fentanyl is a bad drug

What about all the illegal drugs trump and musk uses

Bad Canadians forcing innocent Americans to take drugs!!!

I don't care if people choose to destroy their lives with drugs, just don't increase prices for everything.

Bla bla bla Trudeau you need us more than we need you. So stop the illegals the drugs and pay your own way

Using the drug war to implement AI surveillance on us all…

It is stunning to me that you journalists have no clue about what is going on with these tariffs. It has nothing to do with drugs and migrants.

PM, Please don't bend to these Clowns in the US. The US drug Problem is none of Canadas PROBLEM!

CBSA confiscated tons of cocaine at our border that comes from the USA and last year 8600 illegal guns. The US is our source of toxic drugs and guns

Drugs are flowing into Canada from USA, not the other direction.

Has Trudeau not been taking money from the Mexican drug cartels?

I don't care how much you guys sing or what tune you guys rather play as long as Americans will be addicted to illegal drugs the illegal drugs will always find their way into united states and as long as illegal drugs is get rich quick for some illegal drugs will always find their in united states they huff and puff and keep huffing and puffing the illegal drugs will continue to make their way into united states very simple supply and demand

Trump-GOP-Q's nonsense execuse is fentanyl. However, Trump-GOP-Q's reps do not do the best effort to help Americans who are addicted to fentanyl & other drugs. The reason why fentanyl and other drugs keep coming into the USA is because we in America have too many drug addicts, mostly in the red states that vote for Trump-GOP-Q's reps. Medicaid could be used to help our drug addicts to overcome their addiction, but Trump-GOP-Q's are trying to cut $800 million from medicaid & redirect it for tax cuts for the wealthy. Dumb Trump cannot see.

He IS a drug dealer

There are way more hard drugs flowing from the US, into Canada…

This is how a President should present their country and people when speaking. What I don’t get is someone likes to point fingers at other countries for the “drug problem “ in America however no fingers are being pointed at us for all the drugs being made in America. Crack down on the ones who are making it in the USA instead of a slap on the hand.

If Canadians are failing to stop drugs then evan Americans are also failing to stop it !

If you are dumb enough to take fentanyl or any drug that's on you. Why do the rest of us and other nations have to suffer for these individuals who are on a path to kill themselves

The FACTS is that there is a HUGE drug problem in Canada worst than the USA! So Canada should STOP fentanyl by all means with a lot of people suffering from addiction

Trump care about the drugs trafficking he cares about building money for his Nazi movement and. Pockets

Canada can suck it. This isn't a trade war, this is America being done with catering to everyone. If it's a trade war it's only because of how those like Canada are taking it. We honestly don't need anything from Canada. We can do it ourselves, as we've done before.\nHow come it took this happening for Canada to finally speak out against several drug trafficking groups as the sick and twisted groups poisoning people on both sides of the border? Why couldn't you say that before?

Pointless to explain, who funding drugs treatment experiments, who abuse drug, who has the highest drug abuse rate, who has the highest gangster in drug trafficking.

This action will add more homeless people and drug addicts on the streets of Canada and at the same time drive many Canadians out of their own country because of the already rising cost of housing and other necessities.

Not the people in the comments glazing Trudeau as if they forgot how shit the housing and drug situation is in Canada ? just because he's more eloquent doesn't mean he's a good leader. He literally resigned ?

canadians can do better now by flooding USA with this drugs a means of revenge and raise 100% tariff on all US goods so Canadian wont buy them and choose their own local products...

Wow! Trudue did nothing to prevent the tarrifs but instead he just talk about it use it to his advantage for his political career that was very bad few days ago. Do your work instead of just talking. Criminals , fentanyl and open boarder is still open. Still so many illegal immigrants are still here. How many have you send home already? No news about illegal immigrants that they send home. Too\n Much barking no bite! Show us how many illegal immigrants have you send home? How many drug lords have you put in jail? No statistics. No proof . Who would believe in you? Show us the proof!!!

Every country should be responsible for their own goods. The day we start relying on other countries for what we need we're in a heck of a mess. Because China couldn't get our merchandise to our plant we had to shut down for almost a month. We messed up sending some of our work to China. After this we got everything in the US. Cheaper prices are not the solution. Cheaper labor is not the answer. Trump is concerned about the drugs coming into our country and since the borders are affected these drugs will be coming into our country many other ways. You know where criminals go to get out of the US. Canada. Trump is doing this for our country and you can bet on this. I'm sick of drugs in our country killing people everyday. I'm sick of guns but just about every household owns guns. Children are killed in their own homes with guns. Who cares about alcohol being sold in their state. Honestly. People are homeless because of addiction to alcohol. Yeah saying president Trump using fentanyl for this for this trade war was a bad move. President Trump is doing this for the drugs taking over this country.
