we are calling it stupid, because it is bad for the economie. But perhaps that is the point. If you know in advance when the ecconomie will go down or up you can make a lot of money. So that gives Trump and his court of oligarchs a considerable amount of income.

It’s not lost on a lot of us that the Canadian PM cares more about American families than the lunatics running Washington right now do. The Trump tariffs are shameful.

I used to keep a refrigerator full of beer and a well stocked liquor cabinet. My friends were at my house 7 days a week. I stopped buying beer and boxed up my liquor and all my friends got mad and stopped coming by to visit. Our country has borrowed \n$37 trillion dollars and given a lot away to countries that claimed to be our friends and partners. We stopped giving money away and we are the bad guys? \nYeah I see a parallel.

If you acted as a leader of Canada, instead of focusing on destroying Canada's economy, and you allowing millions of illegal immigrants so they can vote for you, none of this would have happened. You better find the way to work it out with Trump because Canada has a lot more to loose.

Evil trump started War. Other countries only protect themselves. America lost lots of money for immigrants, war in Israel, and Ukraine. Now they wanna back. That's why prices going up. Till they get all back.

i liked trudeau a lot in this speech, after months and months of disliking hearing his voice this was very refreshing.. Well done Justin!

As a right winged proud Canadian ???? There's not a lot I'll say in favor of our Prime Minister, but today JT nailed it!!!

CNN thx for leaving comments ON. Now now, Trudeau isn't liked much by his own ppl. He wants to look tough by replying with more tarrifs of his own and hurting his own people. While trying to say US is bad yet doing the very same thing while saying he didn't have a choice when he did. He's a liar. Now its fine if he wants to place tarrifs, he's free to do whatever. But ppl already chose a conservative leader, and i think if he plays ball with Trump, Canada will have lots to win.

A lot of the support doesn’t come from born Canadians… just saying.

Canada should be with the EU as he said a lot the same ?

kick muslim migrants out, this would help a lot

The US is making lots of enemies in many places at the same time. They are being true to their essence. EU doesnt need that wasteland. Poland said it like a grown up man ✊?

I will say this,Trump is a hell a lot better then biden, but I'm against tariffs altogether

I see a LOT of emotions here in the comments from people who like to tout where they're from for some really weird reason. I imagine to represent the soap box they stand upon. I find it ironic people are giving underhanded insults to Donald Trump by comparing how Trudeau speaks, yet I can almost guarantee those same people brag about how they refuse to listen to a word Donald Trump says. So its a really silly way to try to insult someone. Also just checked some of my stocks daily returns. Up over 2%. So he was wrong within the first 10 minutes. I suspect the market will become more bullish as some of the companies that have made deals to create factories in the US complete them and start churning out products made locally.

Don't get me wrong: This is sick and sad at the same time! Stand strong, Canada! Europe stands with you! Maybe we Europeans are going to import a lot more goods from you now, because Europe already plans to import much less from the... whatever is left over of the USA. But does Trudeau in this speech somehow sound like Dr. Breen in Half-Life 2 on the screens in City 17? ^^

He is a good president, he is very kind, he is compassionate, he has done a lot of good for all Canadians. I would not like him to resign. I would like him to continue in the country as President of Canada.

Canadian here. There's a lot of people in Canada that don't like Trudeau for a lot of reasons, but with the recent events I think the majority of the country has come to tolorate him a little while longer until we get a new Prime Minister. Trumps actions have only united the Canadian people.

I guess the US no longer needs to protect Canada. Hey Treadaue, you apparently don't understand what fair trade is.\nCanada will lose a lot more than the US will.

Next steps, Leave Nato, and then invade Canada. What could possibly go wrong? Message to Trump: Canadians actually have lots of guns. Trudeau didn't get them all!

I encourage all Americans to go listen to our PM’s speech. He said a lot more than this. \nCNN coverage and interpretation is garbage.

Great Political! I have a lot of respect for Trudeau!

Trump is a total disaster for all Americans except the $Billionaires. But it wasn't the $Billionaires who voted Trump into office, it was the millions of MAGA Morons, the very people who are now losing their jobs in thousands as Musk takes an axe to everything. Tariffs on America's main trading partners means that the American consumers, many of them MAGA Morons, are going to be hit a lot harder in the pocket as prices on their goods rocket. I only feel sorry for the Americans, who saw this coming and voted against Trump. For all the MAGA Morons, don't cry help, you brought this on yourself !!! Here in the UK we support Canada 100% !!!

That's a lot of money. But you know whathe government is? Our worth enemies all the money in the world cannot stop people from traveling into any country. It stars with how you Treat peoples is the supporting the peoples can go.\nA long way

Well trump just created a lot of new criminals. Because I'm gonna have to break bad just to feed my family. So if you got anything of value lock it up because my rent is coming due.

this idiot needs to go.... Canada is gonna suffer a lot due to the tariff.... their jobs will be in trouble.

The American people voted for a fascist. Thanks a lot. The winner is Putin. Are you happy now!

Start checking Canadian ports. The border is just a part of it. Maybe if they up the staff at Canadian ports we can get somewhere with this trade war. That's where a lot of Canadian cars are going after they get stolen they need to check more shipping containers for contraband. That's probably where most fentanyl or precursors are coming in.

❤❤ to all m'y international friends.. your support means a lot!! Thank you so Much! ??

I hope you Canadians know that WE, the sane citizens of the United States, do NOT agree with what Trump has started. We don't even want him here!\n\nUnfortunately, there are a lot of racists in our country who have learned to blame other groups of people for the failures of the very party they vote for. \n\nI say, FIGHT BACK! Don't allow the Dictator Orange Man to bully y'all. However, this affects us, we'll have to deal with it, and the ONLY person to blame will be Trump! \n\nLong live, Canada! -Signed, A Black American Woman (who did not vote for that literal clown)

Canada and Europe can make a lot together!

I remember your previous video on Canada. You missed a lot of the warning signs that many Canadians saw that you're highlighting now

Lots of US business big and small gonna go bankrupt cuz of Trump

WHY HASNT JUSTIN STEPPED DOWN. He has a lot to say while he taxes the fuck out of his own people. Entire bullshit speech.

Admirable speech. But don't you think that there's a lot of emphasis on the issue of border control?

Lots of wind, he will be bending over real quick. The guys been ousted by his people and our dummy dimocrats side with him . I’m so surprised. Lol

maybe these tariffs are just to manipulate the markets, some wealthy people will be getting a lot more wealthy very quickly

The only thing Trump has done to Trudeau is make him look better. Canadians have been getting sick of him, but I wouldn't be surprised if seeing him respond in an eloquent and coherent manner while telling Trump to fuck around and find out wins him a lot of brownie points.

Felon Trump's policy failed with our neighbor countries. Disgusting and distressing. Lot of workers will be laid off and it will effect to our economy very badly.

Nobody likes trudeau. I see lots of europeans who have no idea what they are talking about supporting this. But americans and canadians all agree that trudeau is trash, he already quit, hes just stealing as much as he can before he leaves and leaving a dumpster fire in his wake

As an American, maybe we can all do with a lot less crap. Problem solved.

Trump is destroying the US the same as Biden was . Trump is doing it a lot faster .

Is the world having a problem with the US having a strong leader? I think so! The US is no longer taking your unfairness and your grifter expectations toward us. For example, we do 68% of the monetary support of NATO. Let that sink in. Also, we have billions of dollars of a trade deficit with Canada. These leaders of other countries just can not understand why we will no longer be their piggy bank. In conclusion, my son has lived and traveled in Europe. I learned a lot just from his experiences in general. I love my president, Trump!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I have felt blessed to be an American all my life.

I'm sorry Canada! Lots of Americans hate whats going on too! Trump is a monster of a human.

Thank you Canada. A lot of us are not supporting this idiot. Those of us that didn't vote for him and pulled into the mess he is making are scared of what he is going to do to us and to our former allies. Stay strong Canada

Canada and Trudeau are our heroes in this tough times. Such a clear and strong speech full of facts - which a lot of the politics seem have a blind eye for right now.

well said Trudeau. I am a proud Canadian and support my country. Because of this I have started and will continue to buy only Canadian products. Trump is a loser and going to cost the USA a lot of money. I will not travel to the US and that means I won’t even be able to see one of my brothers who lives there, but I support my country and will do what is necessary.

Indian Tv is purposely pushing its national interest by blaming Canada ! \n\nThis is ungrateful attitude! So many Indians moved to Canada , earned a lot and settle safely … now you all complain ! \n\n\nAll these shit happened cos if Indians coming to Canada! \n\nThey abused the system , the submitted fraud documents to get PR in Canada !\n\nBcos of these shenanigans by Indians … genuine , deserving candidates suffering

I think a lot of people assume that countries like Canada aren't capitalist behemoths like the U.S. because we can't be - but it's because we don't WANT to be. Largely, the population wants to succeed by ways that don't make everyone else suffer, because a rising tide raises all boats. \nSoon, the wealthy American will have to reckon with the fact that a desperate and underemployed, oppressed, poverty-imposed public costs more in the long run. In profits, in security risk, in social behaviors and in health.

As an American I stand Behind Donald Trump 100% it is time we build our economy and stop letting other countries get rich off of the United States. Its time for Canada and other countries to pay up.\nDonald Trump handed Zelensky just how he should have. I back Donald Trump 100%\nCanada needs America we don’t need Canada. \nA Large percent of Canada population live on the border of the United States that should say a lot. \nCanada y’all stay in your country and we will stay in ours easy as that

A dumb thing to do he's done a lot of stupid things that's mine the carbon tax to fuel tax house tax food tax Trudeau you've done a lot of bad things to Canadians
