To CNN - get the quote correct, Prime Minister Trudeau quoted the Wall Street Journal. Reflect that in your headline!!\n\nIn terms of this video, I do love watching a true leader speak. \n\nThe Prime Minister is the very opposite of the bloated excuses for human beings - the current president and vice president of the USA, oh and their oligarchs who are equally vile.

I'm so jealous of Canada. You have Trudeau and we have Trump and his moronic Maga sick sycophants. Can California please become the 11th province?

Well done PM Justin Trudeau ❤. #wethenorth

Trudeau is an extension of Biden and his mindless leadership. Why were you not taking stronger measures on the border before you were threatened tariffs? It’s bc you were part of the root problem. Now you’re pretending like you wanna play along but you should have chosen this a long time ago.

Whether you have been in favour or not of Justin Trudeau. He has stepped up and has spoken for all of us Canadians. He is showing strength, class, democracy, and freedom, and his love for all Canadians. We thank you, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.!! ??❤️??❤️??

Trudeau is himself a murderous dictator. Takes one to know one I suppose.

Wow, this is the first time I've seen Trudeau say sound and good things. When he actually works on sensible action instead of hyper liberal silliness, that's great. He comes across really well here.

I’m a Canadian and this guy ‘Trudeau is a FAILURE’ he is supposed to be stepping down shortly. He is fake, he has made our country horrible, he imprisons his own people. He is evil, he is wicked. He should be put in prison for Life! He has broken so many laws it’s insane. The stupidity out of all these governments blows my mind. Time for grownups to run the show and actually keep their promises, and actually do what is right! Whatever you do do not listen to Trudeau he is evil(lover of Satan). I will spend my lifetime dealing with his failures. #trudeausucks #imprisonhim

Is there anyway Trudeau can run for the presidency in the USA? We need help from an articulate, thoughtful thinking person as opposed to our current leader who blames everything on the Biden adminstration and names scapegoats for his own failings. Trudeau is hoping Donny will change....not in the cards!

Very straightforward condemnation against the Trump administration on these tariffs. Trump is looking for trouble at the expense of the citizens without thinking about the welfare of the people. Trump wants to bankrupt Canada because it has ample resources and Trump wants Canada to be the 51st state. It is quite impossible to bankrupt Canada because it can always expand its international trade to other countries, like Europe, etc. Do not tolerate the bully. Salute to Trudeau for being honest to confirm that there are no winners in this stupidity.

Canadians & TRUMP remember trudeau on 04 Dec 2019 and WHY we are in this situation!

Im Canadian, true Blue conservative, and dot usually like what comes out to Trudeau's mouth, but was very happy to hear his words today...\nOver the past couple decades I have spent tens of thousands of my $$'s in the US.. Sadly not any more.. Sadly we will be staying home and will be standing firm....

I hate Trudeau, he is a dictator

Mr Trudeau what Trump is doing to Canada is part of his vengeance tour. You didn’t show him the respect he thinks he deserves ?! He doesn’t care who he hurts including the US who he claims to make great again.

America is not putting tariffs upon you... Just the idiot new dictator trump. All your words are reasonable and sane and correct. We do not even understand how or why he has decided the victim Zelensky is somehow at fault, while putin who the entire world hates, who is actively destroying his own country... Is somehow trumps boyfriend. ::Stares empty:: America has zero idea why. Well said Justin Trudeau.

Sure this was necessary, but don't forget Trudeau has been putting tariffs on Canadians for a while with carbon tax and was planning to quadruple it. Trump might not be the hero for America, Trudeau is for sure the villain of Canada.

We don't trust you Trudeau

Trudeau and his lisp ?? The USA doesn’t need Canada Canada needs the USA - You mad bro ??? I love ❤Trump ! He’s got this liberal douche panties up in a knot !!! I think it’s hilarious- Donald Trump nor America gives two ? about Trudeau or his tariffs- DJT is genius

Our borders aren't safe. Trudeau opened up our borders to allow all these immigrants into our country and mow have ISIS terrorist here in Canada. Trudeau is the biggest terrorist in this country. We wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for Trudeau. He is the biggest liar. He put Canadians at risk. Since Trudeau got in the suicide rates have gone up and it's Trudeau who is at fault. We are fed up with what he has and continues to do and we are feeling completely lost with how we are going to get out of this mess. Canadians want an election for our prime minister. We want Trudeau gone. We don't have any faith in our government officials.

I’d pick Trudeau over DJT any day of the week and twice on Sunday

I have always loved Canada and I cannot believe how awful Trump is treating you. I wish we had a leader like Justin Trudeau.

As an American I wish Trudeau was our president. Take notes Donald. This is true leadership here. No billionaire pulling his strings.

Trudeau’s weak leadership has hurt Canada, especially in energy and trade. Now, thanks to his failures, we’re vulnerable to Trump’s policies.

Trudeau is gonna start a war and America will wipe its ass with Canada.

Mr. Trudeau you need to speak directly to another criminal president “Elon Musk” not Trump, he just a puppet.

Trudeau, Trudeau, puts on a show. Think your own truckers are laughing at you. You're not an innocent globalist, proposed with China for Canada steel jobs.

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

Trudeau. You underestimate trumps loyalty to his dictator daddy.

Trudeau, you need to go! You got us into this mess........Now don't be a cry baby.....Learn how to be a true Canadian. You can't beat the US. They are 10 times larger than us......

You keep it up Trudeau!!!The world NEEDS to get TRUMP OUT!!! He is NOT OUR LEADER!!!

Justin Trudeau needs to be in prison.

Canada should keep Trudeau - I sure wish we could have him for POTUS

I am with Trudeau. Great speech.

PM Trudeau probably didn't thank us enough today. And he is wearing a suit. Why mess with Canada? ughhhhh

They haven't done even a fraction of the harm and literal crap you have done Justin Trudeau!!!!!!! Terisfs or not you suck bro get the hell out of politics ? ? ? ?

Some excellent leadership from Mr Trudeau there. Much respect from your UK friends. Intelligence and truth - two things Trump is incapable of. The US will find themselves down the line with one friend only - Russia - who will then eventually screw over the US as they always have. Trump is a disaster for the US, and the wider world. The world is starting to turn their back on the US, as the US is doing to the world.

Justin Trudeau is the governor of America's 51st state Canada

Trudeau is TRUE Leader . My 100% Support

Kneel Trudeau

Trudeau got ousted by his own party for how garbage he is. Who cares what he says

I’m Canadian and can’t stand Trudeau. Turning down that natural gas deal with Japan was a damn disgrace!

You know I’ve been killing myself working non stop for like a decade trying to hold it all together because of all the increased prices of everything. As a result I have not been paying attention. I know the tariff thing was happening, but didn’t know why this was a thing. \n\nShame on me for not being more up to date. \n\nI also know nothing about Trudeau or his political stance on literally anything aside from what he talked about in this video. \n\nI must say this was of speaking is EXACTLY what I expect from a world leader. Everything was delivered very well and without personal emotions. He’s not going off the cuff and saying whatever pops into his head. THIS is the exact style of communication we need from world leaders. I don’t see how it helps anyone, anywhere in the world to have people in control of nuclear armed nations to be shooting from the hip with communication.

Great goin Trudeau I I'm like you again

Trudeau you are a smart strong man. Canada needs u … don’t leave

Trudeau for POTUS - tRump for GITMO

Time to deal Trudeau. This country was built on tariffs. We’re done subsidizing.

Common man, Trudeau is acting like a kid, what is that ? Why did he respond to the raise of taxes ? \nFor me, he should be negocating with Trump administration's, he did not do enought, what a joke.\nI' am from Canada and I need Trudeau to go away ; may be Trump is doing this because Trudeau has done too much against Trump, we need a new administration to talk with Trump.

Trudeau, dont resign. Go to the vote.

The US will be the big loser. Countries that impose tariffs are shooting themselves in the foot. The only thing Trudeau got wrong was calling Donald a smart guy. Bully yes, smart, no.

Trudeau is an idiot, his words don't matter. If he does not want tariffs he should drop tariffs on America's products. Really simple. The fact that he's resigning means he doesn't even have a say.
