Paula Newton, you’re correct, how dare Trudeau talks to US citizens directly or addresses “Donald” directly, after Canadians have been told we’d make a great 51st State and our Right Honourable Prime Minister has been called a “governor”!\n\nThe AUDACITY!\n\nElbows Up, Canada!

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

American here?\nImpeach,Impeach,Impeach this is Discusting The United State so called President is Going to Devestate & Hurt American/Americans?\nTo side with Dictators out of Greed & Power?\nThank All you Canadian people whom Are concerned❤ & Please Pray for All of Use???\nKamala Harris should be presidant of the U.S❤

and Canadians don't want you call a Election you Pos

Texan and Cold War veteran here. Canada has fought beside us in every major conflict and a number of small ones as well and has always been a good friend to the American people. I will do everything I can to support Canada and Ukraine and any other ally our current dis-administration attempts to bully. \n\nExcellent speech Mr. Prime Minister, you are what leadership and integrity look like and Canadians can be proud to call you their own. You are polite, we are not. You are loyal, we are not. You have guts, we currently do not. God keep your land glorious and free!

I am an American and Canadian. I live in America. It is INSANE to me that (from what I hear) people dislike Trudeau enough for him to resign, yet I see him here acting respectfully, intelligently, honorably. This is what a good country has reasonably decided to be a bad politician.\n\nPan over to America, and our man in office is egotistical, irrational, dishonorable. His lust for power drives him to split the country and burn our bridges. We are meant to be a good country. We can't agree to call him bad.

Oh no maple syrup ............nooooo . Have any of you Canadians looked into what Canada imports vs exports .......... remeber all those new green deal garbage is out the window here in the USA, so lumber is going back up , mining , etc . Just because our countries are next to each other doesn't make us neighbors......... your country has allowed trahs polices to over ride your citizen rights, you've filled your country with migrants , you support crazy sick policies allowing sexual perversion to be put before public saftey . If your countries economy is so effected by this maybe you need this , got a little to relaxed riding tr he coat tails of being next to America. And don't take it personal , this isn't about you as a country but more about American calling out americna companies who build factories only your side , get great deals for taxes and then import the products back to American at a premium retail price and then profit off the American people while offering nothing back .........the end goal is to either make thise companies pay more to get products over the boarder , or bring the factories back here and employee americans .........and last I check the Canadian government doesn't own or produce any products so the things that will be imported to usa will be the ones with a cost rise to the companies that are producing them ........ them............

Want Canadians know many of us are grieved by what is done by this so called but Not president and the tariffs that have been put on our neighbor. We mourn and feel grieved over the time he has been in office- the lies, lack of charity to others while still using ‘God’…shocked that nothing seems to be able to stop this… We are sorry for the hurt that’s been caused to Canada- And just know that some of us here are very grieved by what we see happening to many people in the last six months—- please forgive and pray for us!!! Our nation is in real trouble.

Love all the support, from a proud Canadian! To the American people, we still love and respect all of you! Even the ones who want to annex us and call us a 3rd world country even though it’s hard in these times

Calling a spade a spade! Proud of our PM, proud Canadian here.

Lol. He’s really lovely, talk to the Canadians about this so called articulate person.

Americans take note. \nCanada has a small population. It is a trading nation. Canada does not pretend to other countries that it is a friend while behaving in treacherous ways. Your minions and hypocrites, Vice President James David Vance and Senator Lindsey Graham should also take note. \nCanada and the United States have been trading with each other for over 170 years. Circumstances and proximity made Canada rely on trading with its neighbour, the USA. In 2024, 75.9% of Canada's total exports went to the United States. \nWas it convenience or laziness that made it so, or Canadians’ trust in America being a fair partner? \nPresident Donald J Trump, you have insulted Canadians and the whole United States will harvest the consequences. \nYou had negotiated the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) calling USMCA the best deal, and recently you called your deal the worst deal. \nYou can be the Manchurian Candidate as much as you want. You seek to destroy Canada. Go ahead, do your worst. Keep being manipulated by the Putin and Musk of the world. \nThis is the last time you will use this closeness between Canada and the USA to hurt Canada this way. Does not matter how long it will take, Canada will diversify its trading practice to foolproof itself from future fools like you, elected to the oval office. \nNeighbours, Canadians will remain, there is no way of moving Canada to a different place on this planet’s map. Canada may remain an economic partner, but a close friend, you can forget it. \nThere is a motto on the licence plates of vehicles of Québec (in case you might not know Donald, it is a province of Canada, not part of your fantasy 51st state). Since 1978 the motto says: “Je me souviens”. In English it translates into “I remember”. Canadians will remember what America is doing to them.

Canadians, don't want it, you want that tray war because top your news Trudeau. In Ukraine, we're raping us Canadians. What do carbon tax instead? You should work with Trump and tried to make deals. Didn't you go behind his back and pop your nose? Enter Ukraine and then called Putin. Bad Putin isn't bad. I think who is bad is Trudel. That is a dictator and we know that because his dad was El. Truro. You self are a dictator also, because when you would work with Canadians and leave your news out of Ukraine, then work with Trump. We wouldn't have this, but Trump sees you pop your news into Ukraine. Will your news not belong? That's why Trump? It's punishing us the soul. You stop you gonna poke your nose in Ukraine? You gonna pay for it, are we Canadians? Gonna pay for that.

Trump no Canadian B.S. Americans want results. Call us when you have some!

Thank you prime minister Trudeau for making all Canadian proud . This is what we call a great leadership !

You want to speak to 1 American, He's Russian... Don't call him a very smart guy . Canadians HELP !

So pathetic. CBC our Canadian so called news has turned off any comments. Trudeau does not speak for the majority of Canadians. Our parliament is closed, he and his lackeys refuse to call an election. I would like to talk to my American friends. I apologize for this narcissistic lackey who has driven our country into the ground for the last 9 years.

Hey Canadians, on behalf of the good people in America... I apologize for the ignorance and stupidity of one EMBARRASSING excuse of a leader that is not only sticking it to Americans in every way you can think ... I refuse to call him a president because he is NOT... He is a convicted felon, convicted on 34 felonies. He is a fraudster, a cheater, a LIAR, a thief, and a THUG! He is not a legal president because he cheated to get elected in the first place because he cheated in 2016 by having his Russian friends interfer in our election by smearing, and launching the wikileaks ĺeak that She had emails from her secratary of state days on an unsecured computer at the DNC Hillary Clinton, merely weeks ahead of the 2016 election.\nTrump also incited a seditious insurection in 2020 after losing that election failing his attempted coup to sieze power in an election he LOST! Donald Trump and many of the GOP that ran for thier lives on Jan. 6th 2021 now refer to the insyrection as a peacful gathering of non violent protesters... Trump calls it the best day ever!!! Think about that for a minute! The very first order of business Trump did after his inauguration was to pardon 1500 crimina convicts that either plead guilty or were found guilty of charges like sedition. And insurectionists. Many of them for violent crimes like battery on a police officer. And other charges loke trespassing on a federal building, and theft charges for stealing laptops and all sorts of things.\nDonald Trumps first act was to free all of them with a wave of a pen... he freed police bashers!!! And scum bags like Elmer Rhoads, and leader of the proud boys Enrique Tarrio... and all tge violent punks that tried to overturn a free and fair election!!! I is disgusting! HE a k so pardoned the biggest drug dealer in America that catered to criminals and murderers, the owner and inventer of the silk roads dark web site.\nTrump is a Russian asset, make no mistake about it. And fir the last 40 days or so he set about to burning down all American institutions with the help of his Billionaire campaign donors that agreed to get him elected for MORE MONEY!!! Trump is turningvon our trusted allies all friends, and siding with countries like Russua, North Korea, Iran, Turkey, and other countries that are under the control of string men autocrats, and dictators! He publicly called our friend and ally Vlidomir Zelenskyy a dictator! While at the same time calling Vladimir Putin a genius, and a really smart guy that wants peace he says!\nVladimir Putin is the worlds most cold blooded mass murderer of our lifetime and he is a war criminal that kills mostly civilians, women and children deliberatly!!! He poisons his political opponents and business partners with plutonium and other ways like having them thrown out a high ruse window, or shit from the sky in an airplane!!!\nDonald Trump is a maniac that Ameruca needs to desperately get rid of before he finishes the job of burning down all our institutions and burning our constitution and democracy in order to turn Ameruca into an autocracy...\nSo, Canadians.... we Americans are deeply embarrassed and we apologize for the reckless behavior of one man!! One ignorant man... Donald Trump. There has never been a more shameful and embarrassing time to be an American! Eff Trump!!!

I wish to side track just slightly from this videos content. This individual who calls himself the PM of Canada is nothing short of a criminal. You're listening to a child pretending to be an adult. Trudeau is the reason that freedom is vanishing from Canada. He openly admires the Communist system of China (social credit system). He has destroyed the economy of Canada all by himself. He is desperate to destroy freedom of speech and punishes all who oppose him. Please remember what Trudeau did to Canadians during the PEACEFUL trucker protest in Ottawa. He froze bank accounts for Canadians who stood by the truckers. He inposed some of the harshest lockdown measures in the world during the pandemic and he abolutely HATES democracy. Have you forgotten his blackface scandal as well? This is the face of an absolute TYRANT pretending to be a crusader for fairness. Don't forget his total ripping during the UN speech he gave about 2 years ago when foreign UN representatives tore into him for his open tyranny against Canadians. His security thugs have assulted journalists simply for asking him honest questions about the Canadian economy and now you are swayed by a suit wearing mobster. He protects terrorists across Canada while simultaneously arresting Canadians for demanding their freedom to be restored. This guy is a THUG in an expensive suit and nothing more. It's nausiating to see how quickly people forget and how easily they are swayed by a bandit in an expensive suit. WAKE UP. Trudeau is the face of evil and you admire him. Nausiating.

To our Canadian friends, Most people in the USA are good people, some are being misled and brainwashed by Maga trash. Mother Nature needs to hurry up...; I honestly don't understand how people can fear such weak minded freak. Zelenskyy can see this, reason why he did not back down. If a person tries to lie to my face, I will call it out. I don't give a fudge who they are.

I think some leaders need mentors, and the Canadian prime minister should really school some ... But men this is what I call national delivery we will always support Canada all the way from Mama Africa

Trump should at least wait until the new prime minister of Canada is coming in at any time this what you sow call a man will no longer be part of the Canadian politics he has ruined our country from top to bottom he doesn't deserve any air time what Trump could have waited until the new prime minister was in because I'm sure he would be way more willing to work with Trump and not against Trump

Justin just called an election. Obviously, Trump and 60% of Canadians don’t like you. Look at what you’ve done to Canada before all this. This guy and Newsom are cut from the same cloth— all talk, incompetent, and corrupt.

But will you call an ELECTION RIGHT NOW. GOVERNMENT THE CANADIANS WHAT THEY WANT AND LET US VOTE FOR PIERRE POILIVRE AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY SO WE CAN DO DAMAGE CONTROL AND REBUILD PUR COUNTRY.

Trudeau!! What are you doing??? You are NOT the PM of Canada any more! You call Trump a dictator at the expense of Canadians??? You are increasing the tariffs FOR Canadians?? How idiotic!!!! Get OFF!!!!!

Can we have the Canadian President instead of ours? Both Canada and Mexico responds to the requests and demonstrate they are trying to be our allies and for some reason we still proceed into a trade war. I think there's an aspect of the tariffs where it's a tax that's not called a tax, where there will be reductions in taxes for the wealthy and then these tariffs are added taxes for the general population.

I still remember when canadian political stallions called Trump names. This is pay back.

Canada has known for decades that we have put too many eggs in one basket - selling our resources primarily to the USA. We've had tariffs before and worked with them. Yet we still keep selling to the USA. This time is different. In conjunction with the tariffs, we have an American administration that is flat out insulting Canada. Saying we wouldn't exist economically if it wasn't for the USA. It's at a time when the USA won't promise not to use military force to annex land (Greenland) from a decades old ally. A time when clearly Putin is calling in his chips for whatever he has over Donald Trump. Canadians have had enough. We are directing our governments, provincial and federal, to finally, finally break from the north-south trade links. We need to establish stronger east-west trade links. The resources we have are wanted by many countries if the USA does not want them. It does mean much work within Canada. We need to get our AB-BC pipeline finished as well as the new sea terminal so we can ship our crude oil and natural gas to Japan and if need be, to China. We finally need to get out pipeline to the Atlantic coast finished so we can supply the UK and EU with our products. We need to double our rail capacity for shipping potash, uranium, rare minerals to Asia or Europe. Just as Trump hopes for a golden age of American companies coming home and building new plants in the USA, this will be a golden decade for Canada to create transportation corridors to get our resources to other buyers. America will have to look elsewhere for his raw materials. And we all know what that is - RUSSIA. They've already offered their rare minerals and crude oil. This is all clearly a well thought out scenario from the people working behind Trump to dismiss America's allies and trading partners - have us turn against the USA - as the excuse to open the door to Russian imports into the USA.

This idiot so call leader destroyed Canada with the evil , woke Liberals, you met your mstch now and I hope Canada becomes apart if USA to teach a lesson to every woke Liberal Canadian, we have to bring back strong Christian family communities and get rid of illegal migrants, transgenders, STOP Sexualizing children, STOP all foreign aid especially to the Ukraine, you help your own first and foremost, this idiot Justin Trudeau has to be kucked out of Canada and never let back aling with every other liberal.

Calling Trump a very smart guy then follow it with a very dumb thing is diabolical, haha. Kudos JT! Stay strong Canadians!

Canada is the 51st state. There was no reason for Trump to call it out. Now, you can see the desperation on Trudeau's face, and the Canadian reaction.

As a Canadian, Trump will regret this. I repeat regret this. I am 60 years old and l never saw this ever in my life. Trump called Biden a stupid president he should eat his words and take a long look at himself. Biden had much more class and respect for others. He is attending Putin bc Putin has dirty laundry on him. Trump and Putin are the antichrist but don't realize that GOD is in command always was always will be. Lord have mercy have mercy on us all. Protect us from evil. Grant us peace in this world.?

Turn there power off. You will get a call in less then 24 hours from the USA. And do not send our planes to put out the fires in South Carolina if they want our help they need to pay for it because our Canadian workers do not work for free

As a Canadian. Don't believe a word coming out of this treasonous piece of crap. You're done. To sit there and call him Donald? This is how dumb this idiot is. God please help our country.

So Trudeau calls Putin a liar and a murderous dictator but we all remember a few years ago, the same PM declaring is admiration for China's dictatorship. On a trip in Europe he even downgraded is own people while trying to suck up to the Germans. A few years ago Trudeau said that Canadians didn't really have an identity and announced that he wished to make Canada the first post national country in history. I'm sorry guys, I do not like the tariffs but I just cannot stand this guy!

Thanks to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's leadership, speaking clearly in whole sentences, calling out DJT lies, untruths & fallacies while outlining & correcting w' facts & truths... DJT utilizes deceptiveness to gaslight Americans increasingly less effectively... More Americans are opening their eyes & ears... unfortunately some not... Hopefully soon.\n>> Trudeau calls out Trump aligning America w. PUTIN--Russia, a Dictator, thug & murderer, and displacing historical allies & friends..\n>> Fentanyl is manufactured in China; shipped in bulk to Mexican Cartels, etc, to prep for the American Markets--Why hasn't Trump stopped it now he's in charge of the borders. \nRECALL SYCOPHANTS from Congress--Replace w' patriots to impeach Trump-Vance & prosecute them w/ Musk, DOGE & all who are violating our laws accessing & deconstructing our Govt.

Canadian has new law tottalitarian Bill C-63 .\nIf you have different oppinion gov can call hate speach, WHO can decide what is hate speach, only Gov.. You can get the life prison. \nIt is like fascist law

so he was against canadians at the trucker convoy now he is for canadians he is nauseating. funny how people are saying trump started a tariff war when he is just calling everyone out on their shit love it

As an Italian American living in New York, with Italian French-Canadian cousins living in Quebec, its really upsetting to see our relationship with our closest allies fall apart due to the greed and stupidity of only a hand full of people – if you can even call them that.

Mr PM, thank you for calling him Donald. He does not deserve the respect or dignity of the title of President. I think Donald is much more appropriate. Thank you for sticking up for us! Respect. I am proud you are our PM and proud to be a Canadian.

Praise the Father, Son & Holy Spirit for President Trump and his boldness. It is time for Canada to vote for a new Prime Minister. 10 years of poor Canadian leadership. Instead of extending peace he calls the current USA leadership derogatory names. Does he forget that President Trump received the popular vote! Wake up Canada!

Why would you call President Trump stupid? Stupid, you just called the majority of Americans stupid because they voted for him. You are stupid.\nI'm Canadian. If Trudeau wanted to look out for Canadians, he would have done all the things Trump asked for long before Trump asked. He would have done it for Canadians. Mr. President Donald Trump is looking out for Americans from day one, but Trudeau never looked out for the majority of Canadians in the almost 10 years he had power. He stifled Canadians, he jailed heroes, stole money, etc. There are 7 extreme scandled he was heavily involved in and over 20 others that would have put any other Canadian in prison for a very long time. He is a disgrace to Canadians everywhere.

One thing about Justin Trudeau. \nHe's an excellent talker but the worst Prime Minister Canada has ever see.\nDon't be fooled by his nice hair and speech. It's because of Trudeau Canadians are not able to afford housing and taxed to our eyeballs. \nBecause of Trudeau, our drug problems are at rising high like we've never seen before.\nHe does nor respect Canadians although he talks the part yet he pulls the emergency act on the Canadian truckers and froze anyone's bank account that donated to protest against him. A man dressed in sheep clothes but a wolf inside that will do anything to make himself rich and first. Meanwhile single moms are suffering because they just can't make ends meet. \nThank God he has been called to resign from his own party. \nWe need a leader that will be intouch with the everyday Canadian worker. It's not Trudeau.\n❤Canada. God Keep Our Land Gloria's and Free.\nYes We Will Stand On Gard For Thee, because Trudeau didn't.

CNN, why are you not calling out Trump's lies? In 2024, less than two tenths of one percent of fentanyl entering the US in 2024 crossed the US-Canadian border. This was NEVER about fentanyl. This is about Trump financing his billionaire tax cuts buy imposing huge sales taxes on American consumers. It's a stealth tax increase tha.t is targeted at low and middle income Americans. Trump is a liar, a crook, and a moron, a rapist, and a traitor. Every line you guys utter should underscore those facts. If you can't do your job, then STFU and shutter your offices. You are of no value to anyone but the criminals in the White House.

I was very disappointed with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. While I have always been pressed by his superior leadership record and skills especially with his spectacular response to the impending tariffs by travelling to UK and Europe and talking about trading with Europe and East Asian countries.\nWhat a disappointment when he called Putin a murderous dictator. Justin, let’s look at the record of your friends in the West. USA has over decades bombed and killed millions of Muslims in Arab countries. Today the murders continue to go one without a peep from you or your western leader friends. In the last week the US has bypassed Congress to ship billions of dollars of bombs to Israel so Israel can with these US bombs cleanse Gaza. So Israel can steal the Palestinian lands so Trump can built a resort and hotels in these stolen Palestinian lands.\nSo what about Ukraine? Same story, different tactic. NATO with your consent poked the Russian bear for decades before Russia, whose warnings about NATO expansion went unheeded. Russia had no choice but to fight a proxy war with Ukraine as US kept on shipping dollars and weapons to Ukraine ‘to weaken Russia’. When you won the election, Justin, I thought that a younger Canadian whose father was one of the most independent thinking leader, that you would take a history lesson and realize that the US foreign policy over decades has been the cause for so much complicity in so many countries around the world. Listen to Jeffrey Sachs and get your thoughts sorted out.\nListen to Ilan Pappe to know how the country you hug and kiss has murdered and stole Palestinian lands for over 7 decades. I have not once heard from you that Israel should be called out.

Prime Minister Trudeau when you start out your speech please stat half of America wants to have a trade war with us: because the other half of Americans does not want to have a trade war with Canada. I have been to Canada a hundred times in my lifetime since I live close to the Canadian border and I've always respected Canadian sovereignty also, that Canadian is our best partner and friend. Keep calling out TRAITOR TRUMP, the MAGA ACOLYTES and the so-called Republican party GOP that PLACE Putin over Canada. I don't know what Putin has over TRAITOR TRUMP or how much vested interest TRAITOR TRUMP is getting from Putin. The Canadian border is the largest undefended border in the world. To our mutual friends sorryl about this AUTOCRAT.

An intelligent, polite, courteous Canadian leader calling out a vicious, demented, intellectually stunted, illiterate, swindling, lying, draft-dodging, tax-dodging rapist?\nNetflix will have a ball with this screenplay, they've already given me half a million for the sketch.\nMusk will be next under the lawnmower...\nLove etc.,
