All the western countries hopefully understand that your wealth no matter what it is, Usa is the reason.just security alarmed your butts and alarms screaming tells it all.

As a Canadian, I can tell you that I won't be buying anything made in US, product of US or even shipped from the US, even if tariffs were removed tomorrow, I will continue to boycott as long as the orange buffoon is the president.

Why is it that it takes the leader of a foreign country to tell us how truly stupid our president is? Blinded by the proximity I guess. Hats off to Trudeau. He gets it right.

After a couple of years Trump and co will say, that Canada started a trade war against US. Just like they say, that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started the war with Russia. And now some uf US commentators are saying the same. It’s crazy. And there will be no way to get him to remember the facts. He and all who work for him are liars and half truth tellers. I’m not sure how to deal with this. But it is VERY important for all media outlets to keep reminding the facts. Just tell what happens, so there is a record. I think that could help in the end.\nSo here are my 5p:\nUS started trade war against Canada with 25% tariffs.\nRussia annexed Crimean peninsula and attacked Ukraine in 2022. This is the truth, no two ways about these facts.\nTrump and Vance are liars.

Thank you Justin for telling the truth! So refreshing. Thank you for thinking of us and understanding what our President is doing.

As an American I can tell you: This started to hurt since the moment the US president floated the idea. Now we will be seeing even higher inflation and those who will suffer the most are the mass voters of DJT.\n100% this by far is the dumbest thing he has done since that time he wanted people to be injected Clorox to kill Covid.

As an American I can tell this guy is a little limp in the wrists

My skepticism tells me that Trump is doing this so that US American companies will crash, and his rich buddies will buy the lower price stocks. Buy them out. \n\nI could be wrong, but he has proven to us that he cares nothing about others, only himself and his wallet. It’s sick! But I don’t blame Trump anymore. I blame his supporters.

Rich people like inflation. The last scorching inflation we had in the 80s, CDs for 3 years and only 10,000 dollars drew 13.5%, there was also high, high, high unemployment, home loans were 18.5% interest with good credit. This set the farmers up or losing their farms and the Savings and Loan collapse and the subsequent 113 Billion Bail out. This was WITHOUT gutting our federal agencies, cutting back on SNAP and Medicaid and firing federal employees and gutting the agencies' ability to do oversight with the Offices of Inspector General. I can't even tell you why Dept. of Defenses is calling off our cyber defenses against Russia who hacks everything in America nuclear power plants, hydro, etc. Got my gas today - our refineries are fitted for Canadian oil though it's not a 25% tariff but Canada could slap an export tax on it to be paid by us.

Trump is SO easily manipulated by Putin and others. All you have to do is tell him he's the victim and that he's very smart and he'll do anything you tell him.\nHis narcissism, greed and emotional retardation are destroying the USA. The number of Americans too idiotic to see it is frightening.\n\nPutin must be pissing his pants laughing at how easy it's all been.

The only thing trump hears in this is “you’re a very smart guy” \n Trumps people will cut this piece up and tell the world Trudeau gave a speech saying trump was smart and has done big things.

Maybe you should pay more attention to your own country instead of investing in Ukraine and telling America how to run their business

So the US didn’t even tell the truth on top of this tariff. Are we surprised? Trump said these previous agreements between Mexico & Canada were unfair to US, like we were getting screwed by these countries.

Let's go 51..?. One big pity party going on in here.. Time will tell , we are not giving in....?. We are already making Canada Better. Your welcome.

You tell them JT!! ????????

Where are the MAGA to defend their cult leader? Awfully silent these days. Bring it maga and tell me how allying with Russia is making us great

Tell ‘em, Trudeau!

Mr. Prime Minister -- as an American, let me tell you something: you're preaching to the choir.

You know why there are no trump supporters (yet) in the comments here telling you why trump is right and Trudeau is wrong? Because right-wing propagandists haven't had time yet to tell trump supporters what to think of this speech. Give it a few days, and then expect a bunch of ignorant, foolish MAGA clowns who can't think for themselves to be here regurgitating what they were spoon fed.

Great speech Prime Minister! Clear, concise and truthful! Someone needed to tell the world the truth. All Trump doles out is lies, lies and more lies!

Canadian here. We do not support Trudeau or the liberals/ndp for destroying Canada. He is garbage. Force a Canadian election! Trudeau is basically telling americans dont let trump do with tarriffs what we already did to canadians with taxes, carbon taxes, forign interference, bad policy, open borders and theft of tax dollars.

Somebody needs to tell donald, the disgraced, soon to be impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, soon to be former president, the never to be premier of America which is the soon to be 11th province of Canada by way of unanimous consent of the American public... DON'T START NO SH*T WOULDN'T BE NO SH*T!\nYou know what this is about don't you?? donald is mad at our Prime Minister because he was caught joking and making fun of donald with other world leaders at the 2019 NATO summit in London. So because donald has microscopically thin skin he can't take his over inflated ego being bruised in any way, so to get back at Trudeau he's going to take it out on the Canadian public and the American public, the consequences be dammed. The only thing that is important to him is revenge no matter what the cost. Besides, when Trudeau visited the Whitehouse, Melania gave him googly eyes and melted in his presence. Let's face it donald, you can never come close to ever being the man our Prime Minister is as much as I dislike Trudeau and are glade to see him gone.

Someone tell Adolph trump to read history, THIS IS HOW TO START A WAR. We the people are responsible for letting this go on. We need to stop it before it is too late and then \nWe will be saying “we should have done something”.too bad we didn’t have someone with intelligence and common sense as Trudeau.

Do people actually think that Trump will tell the truth? He's the father of lies.\nDo people think that fentanyl is NOT made in the USA?\nWhy does the USA have SO MANY DOPE FIENDS??\n\nTo all republicans that voted for Trump and you have lost your job or are hurting....GOOD FOR YOU!!!! I wish things become unbearably WORSE. Trump showed ya'll during his first administration, ya'll saw what he did while not in office, and we WARNED ya'll but some way ya'll got amnesia. Basic elementary understanding economics will tell you that:\n1) Tariff is another tax on the people in the country that is issuing the tariff\n2) Cost will always be lower four years prior (except for the period near the great depression) than the current year.\n3) Did ya'll forget about the damage the pandemic did and how some merchants were price gouging...and Biden was going after price gougers?\n\nI could go on and on but I assume that if you didn't listen or pay attention for 8 years, you definitely aint listening to me.

Like I've said before or two other blogs, this man should not be up there addressing CNN or any other network or any population. Whether it be Canadian or American. He has no right to be there. He is not the prime minister of this country anymore. He has no right to be making policies or to be imposing tariffs or doing anything else of the sort. Furthermore, he is also politically, unsavvy and ignorant. He in his running the mouth speech this afternoon. Insulted Donald Trump again by calling him dumb. I'm telling you that will not go very well with Mr. Trump and I wouldn't be surprised to see additional tariff percentage increased on the 25% already in place. Justin Trudeau is not a prime minister. He is a thug, an absolute idiot, a moron and any other adjective that you can find to describe someone who is totally and completely incompetent and incapable of implementing policy or running a country.

That's what these libs will never understand, you can't make consignments with these people and expect to appease them they'll always push for more and more until you have nothing left not to mention doing these consignments causes infighting which is also part of their plan. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a Democrat say these leftists aren't doing anything like excuse me Karen.

Great speach.........good luck america, come on europe lets follow and tell that nation we are not into bullys

Trator trump needs to be impeached. America could save trillions impeaching trump and elon. How many of you can aford higher electric and gas bills. Lets step up and tell Trump to go to hell.

Telling trump directly in toddler talk how much of a moron he is was very cathartic ??

This globalist D bag is like a wart that won’t go away! He’s sure doing a lot of talking and signing for a guy who supposedly resigned. Which should tell anybody all they need to know he’s full of ? and hot air.

When unqualified cabinet members, advisors that just yes men; no one to tell Trump “let’s rethink this….” And here we are today. ? there are no checks and balances in the branches… wake up Americans!

A US government inventing a pretext for hostile action? I’m shocked; SHOCKED, I tell you.

Justin Tredeau is such a gentleman. So intelligent. I'm sorry this is happening. I voted for Harris and am brokenhearted still. Trump isn't intelligent ?. I can tell you the vast majority of Americans cannot stand this poor excuse for a human being. I would leave the states but I am not well enough sadly. We want to get Trump and his synchophants out of the Whitehouse. Pray with us and for us that we can do this. Much love to Canada ?? ❤️.

Who cares wqhat girly boy Trudeau has to say. Tell him to go send his troops to steal more gasoline from truck drivers that were using it to keep their families from freezing to death, after showing they were ready to stand in solidarity. How quickly the canadians forget what a dictator looked like when the truckers showed their displeasure. How quickly they are sheep.

As a Canadian I can tell you all that we’re livid. The relationship between our two nations will never be the same.\n\n27% of Canadians now view America as an enemy and threat to our security, not an ally.

You go Trudeau!! I can tell you're pissed off at that orange turd!! So is the rest of us Canadians!! Orange turd needs to goooooo awaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!

Wish the USA had a mature, intelligent leader who could speak in complete sentences and didn't tell us lie after lie.

Compare this speech to Trump's briefings. You can tell who is a true nation leader.

Canada has been treating the United States like their personal ATM for way too long. You bring nothing to the table, but you have the audacity to ask for everything. It’s sad how most people don’t understand politics and just rely on media to tell them how to think and feel Russia is not a threat to no one but they have been constantly attack attacked by everyone especially the United States. You guys talk war but you’re not ready for World War III. No one can ever be ready for that

Anybody can tell tell me when the governor Trudeau will step down office?

You tell them carrot face !

CNN, why in the world do you waste our time telling us what we just saw and heard? Anyway, I'm very nervous, if not down right scared, to watch the United States devolve into a fascist regime. It feels terrorists now hold our government hostage. For the first time in my life, I'm embarrassed and ashamed to be an American.

Trudeau is not telling all. He is being elloquant as he goes thru a political meltdown, reason for why he has resigned. \n\nIf Trump made the decision he will back it up.

You tell him Justin!

Absolutely LOVE this guy! A great leader who is very intelligent and speaks so well that even a Trump MAGGOT IDIOT can even understand! \n\nSomeone like this is very much needed to tell them just what their chosen cult leader is bringing them, lol. GOOOOO Canada! ????????

Trump sticking to his words is like telling a con men to tell the truth. So he didn't end the Ukraine war in 1 day like he promised, he didn't lower food price on day 1 that he promised too! ?

You are a very intelligent man. Tell that orange guy like it is!! He is stupid! We will suffer here! Don’t let him humiliate you, Mexico china like he does

I’m from Peru who leave in Canada for the past 37 years and I’m telling you I will stand for Canada whatever it takes, Canada will not back down!

Tell themJustin!? We will not back down. We are polite. We ain't dumb.

This is what y'all voted for. IDK what to tell you. It sucks to see... unless you're GOP, then you lack the empathy for any of this to even register.
