Maybe building a Boarder Wall on America's Northern Boarder would be a good idea. Canada is responsible to guard our boarders and allow in only those who we feel qualify. Canada does not close it's boarders to those who wish to leave, nor does the United States close it's boarders to those who wish to leave. The United States is free to put up a wall and a boarder crossing anywhere you wish, stop whoever you want to stop from entering your country. I can tell you that The fastest Boarder Wall that I have ever seen go up is the one that Trump just raised between the United States and Canada, the Tariff Wall. What you have done is put signs on our shelves, buy Canadian. You have taken American Product from the top shelf, to the verry bottom shelf, behind the Made in China. You have closed the Travel Agencies to United States travel, nobody wants to go to your country, and I heard that there is going to be a 250% Tariff on hotel accommodations for Americans visiting Canada. It is not only about the Tariffs on Canada, who Used to be your friends, it is about your new friend Russia, who support Terrorist organizations all over the world, including the ones in Gaza who held Americans Hostage, who supports IRAN who supports Russia in murdering and raping women, kidnapping children in Ukraine, torturing and murdering citizens with their hands tied behind their backs. If this is what America supports, if this is what America does to its Ally's, I hope the taps for the oil and the switch for the electricity are turned off, and we never have to worry about each other ever again.\n\nCanada is a country with an Area roughly the size of the United States, with a population 340 Million is 8 1/2 times larger than Canada at $40 Million, with a GDP 9 1/2 times larger than Canada. America is a Bully.

TELL OUR CORRUPT LEADER HIS DAYS ARE OVER. HE HAS RAN OUR COUNTRY INTO THE DIRT

Dumb Drumpf! So obsessed with fentanyl as an excuse for imposing tariffs on Canada -then tell me why did he release the America's kingpin from jail after serving less than 10 years after being handed down a sentence of 80 years! Max Butler was a master at drug dealings of any kind you could imagine making 1.2 billion dollars including 4-5 murders. This was cyber crime in the dark web used as a tool to commit these crimes which had eluded authorities. How many other people had died because of him. Now he's free!

All you unhappy Americans that speak about democracy seem to be unhappy what the American people voted for. They voted for change, so deal with it for the next 4 years, the Democratic Party lost the election, and tell the democratic party to change their focus from transgender restroom among other liberal views.

His people in Ontario have been driving to Michigan to buy their groceries because they can’t afford prices in their own country for YEARS. Don’t tell us how we are gonna feel. And the people made this decision. We voted trump in. I’m not a world leader but I personally don’t take economic advice from people who can’t manage their own ??‍♂️

He tells everyone how stupid the tariffs are then enacts his own on behalf of Can-a-duh. Don't worry, eh. Statehood is coming and you won't have any tariffs.

I always hate these. Where they have the people in the background nodding in approval. Basically telling us what to think and what is important. BRAINWASHING

Magatards really will just leap off a cliff if trump tells them to

When will the Western leaders wake up, they still talk about friends. Trump is not a friend. Trump looks up to Dictator and it is clearly his big dream to make the US the same type of regime, he does nothing but tell the less intelligent Americans that Putin etc. are not the bad guys, they need to get used to the idea that that type of regime is a good thing. So it is easier to try to maintain power

I honestly think Trump doesn’t know how tariffs work. His acolytes are too scared to tell him he’s got it wrong saying the exporting countries pay the tariffs, he said it time & again in the campaign & his dumb as a rock MAGA supporters actually beleived him. The media were absolutely derelict in not pushing back on his claims they just kept covering him saying it, & here we are.

Good for Trudeau. Trudeau is telling it like it is. It is about time someone stood up

SOMEBODY TELL THIS FOOL THE BORDER ISNT JUST ABOUT FENTENYL .

Trump is a bitch don’t have the balls to go after China for the drugs there are the ones shipping the shit to Mexico to make fentanyl but go after the weak ones instead tells you a lot about a person don’t get me wrong I’m all for trump but he fucked this one up grow a pair of balls and go after Mexico and China he just fucked the the United States big times with this bullshit move

I know sir! I'm in East Tennessee and I've been trying to tell these fools

Time will only tell If Americans made the mistake of electing Trump.

What about Canadian home builders who never built homes for customers who signed contracts that have been renting for years only to have the home builder request more money from them. Tell me how that makes sense? What about consumer protection agencies? Are home builders immune from the economy? How is the government allowing this because he had a hospital built putting his name on it that it is sustained by property taxes. Who the hell wants this? Who is going to fix the families ruined by this garbage home builder?

You need to get rid of these f****** biased new stations I'm so sick and tired listen to sing to them give me ideas happening just tell me what is happening I don't need a panel I don't need a former I just need them to give us the goddamn image truth the news not a story always trying to go for fearmongering tactics

I love how he talks to Donald as if he was a child even his tone changes, and then tells him he’s a very smart guy ?

I'm a South African. you can't start a war with every country. at the end of the day we all need each other to survive. Donald started with South Africa and i must tell you guy's... we doing just fine i promise you. this won't be easy but trust me eventually things will be way much better than before.

It is so nice to listen to a leader telling the truth. What we have is a president that is a lier and a criminal and is in bed with Russia he's trying to take away our freedom we have got to get rid if him Vance and musk

If you like this speech and support us… now act!!! Tell to your President that you don’t like this situation and these actions from his team!!!! Why you voted for this dangerous man who prefers Russians Than Canadiens????

People of the US: Call your Congresspeople, especially if they are republicans. Hold them responsible! The president can only lawfully do this if it is for national security, which it is not! Tell them that they must not fear the primaries, but that they will be removed if they do not act!

I can't believe the people of the USA really elected him. Come on, you know Trump plays very dirty--I refuse to believe that the majority of voters are this brain dead. If our nation is this stupid then we deserve everything that is coming to us. PS: Trudeau, it's way too nice to tell Trump he's a smart guy--he's evil, not at all intelligent. Can we please stop conflating scheming, bullying and manipulation with intelligence---any dumb ass can scheme, bully and manipulate (the prisons are full with this kind of human being), but you actually have to be intelligent to collaborate, listen and manage.

You are only a friend when people rip you off, and an enemy when you tell them enough is enough,Trump is correct on this one

Don't try to tell the American people what does government doing to it why don't you explain to your people what you're doing to them you tyrant criminal

Following the imposition of tariffs on Mexico by the USA, I tell the President of Mexico that the message she is going to give on Sunday at the Zócalo should be given from the National Palace and that she should put on the presidential sash. THAT IT SHOULD BE A NON-PARTISAN STATE DECISION! Because all Mexicans are in the same boat!

You're reasonable? Don't place your opinion on all Canadians. They don't agree with your leftist actions. If you were reasonable you wouldn't be placing tariffs on all American products exported to Canada. Now, reciprocal tariffs are fair. Why don't you tell your people the TRUTH

We tried to tell you dumb ass to not vote for this idiot Trump and his hinch man, Musk. Now, this is what we get. Now Trump is getting his a$$ handed to him!! I stand with Canada ?? Now this is how you have a press conference!!

You can tell this man will take care of his people. Unlike the one in our office. Help Trudeau.

But you hadn't done this before trump won tells the true story

Ohh CNN shows Trudeau that have the courage to contradict Trump while CNN anchors themselves are too spinless to give ONE opinion about the blatant lies he tells and even insinuate Zelensky should be to blame.\nKudos to Trudeau, shame on CNN.

We love Canada! We know that trump the traitor to Americans and Democracy started this horrible tariffs along with Americans losing jobs, Food is off the charts and the lies that trump tells has harmed our relations with European countries. All by him, the man who has been indicted in both criminal and civil law cases. We know that Canada shows honor in fighting back. If our spineless, cowardly republicans party would work for their constituents rather than for a criminal we would not be in This situation.

It's the Teacher telling off the Student?

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.

Can someone please tell me exactly WHY Canada forced Trudeau to resign?!?!?! THIS is a TRUE LEADER!!! ❤

This is about Traitorous Trump trying to do as Putin tells him too. Im tired of this Traitorous behavior.

I’m telling you this it’s gonna hurt you more than us and see us “hurt” wym by those comments?

“Blistering” in the feyest manner ever. It’s USA first buddy, we’ve been footing the bill for your country in so many ways for decades. Also, why did it take Trump telling you to go after the fentanyl makers in your country to prevent it coming across our border?

He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny. And I’m in my golden years and I had to see this. And I can’t imagine I just survived open heart surgery woke up during the surgery surgery and came out of it alive to be brought back back to what this is happening in my country.

Hate to tell you Justin but we got what you're selling. America needs to become independent in energy and agriculture. America needs to support its own farmers, and oil and gas workers. Its time for America to become America again! You are crazy if you live in America and don't support American manufacturing, Farmers, oil and gas workers. Maybe you should move to Canada if you don't agree with America first.

Also tell honestly why you have resigned as President of Canada

He is a Democratic American. I really like this guy. Won’t I’ve always had a lot of respect for Canadians. They’re friendly. They’re nice people and don’t tell me to go live there. I’ll stay here and standby. My fellow Americans that don’t want tyranny.

Austria here. Trump himself is the biggest scam ever. He says „make America great again“ while isolating it, breaking with allies, constantly telling lies, cuddling Putin as he would be his best friend. In truth he is obviously a Russian allie.

History tells of another despotic nutjob that started a war on two fronts that ultimatley led to his coutries downfall?

Good on ya chap. \nAt last!!! A country and leader who will tell Trump to go and do one.

You can tell he's scared s*** you can hear it in his voice and you can hear he's trying to intimidate us

Trudeau coming with receipts! Tell them! Facts!!!!

This is about more than the fentanyl. This is about Canada not pulling their own weight when it comes to defensive spending, this is about getting them to allow Us manufacturered cars into their markets, this is about convincing Canadian companies to build factories in the US… etc Trumps tariffs are creating hundreds of billions, soon to be trillions of dollars worth of investments into our market. We hold the largest market in the world. We hold the power here, not Canada. And bitching about relations with our allies isn’t going to sway conservative voters come the next election. When we win this “trade war” something tells me CNN will whine about how we won it instead of giving credit to the current administration for doing better by our citizens.

Didn't JT quit on his country back in January? Somebody should tell Canada they're allowed to replace him now! I guess they forgot already ?

Trump just looking for a scapegoat for his incapability to fix the domestic American problem of drug addiction eventually he will tell his Mega ppl that the drug problem is bec of Mexico, Canada and china
