Petulant Child running Canada, this isn't going to end well ?

end the carbon tax trudeau or you're worse than trump!

Tarriffs will just end trade

America will be outcast like Russia. And Donald as we all know by now, will not leave at the end of the term.

Trudeau stepped up his game. Love this speech. As a Canadian, I am more than willing to go through pain to maintain our sovereignty and nationality. This is the beginning of the end of Americas' dominance. With the isolationism the White House is mandating, this will be the beginning of its downfall.

I think we need to give it time. In a year or two picture should be clear. I don't think tariffs are necessary a bad thing long term if they spike more production of everything or at list anything in US. Short term it would be painful for everybody tho. We become a country of no production. Only consumption is not healthy. It is how every empire behaves on a last breath. Look back in history. Rom, Spain etc.Sooner or later we wouldn't be able to exchange worthless green paper to goods anymore outside of the country unable to produce anything inside the country and we die. Personally I find it interesting and possibly well thought experiment.. Living the way we did last 50 years is not possible anymore. Something need to change and at list Donald is trying unlike those useless talking heads. How will it ends. Who knows. I can only hope for success. In worst case we'll have unending supply of discounted bourbon:).

Well if hes going to talk like that all governor positions are off the table for him...\nMaybe Putin will catch Trudeaus ankle with an umbrella end and ding dong the witch is dead. ?\nFunniest thing is he says prices are expected to rise for Americans . Through tariffs right?\nSo then he matches those tariffs. So i guess Canadians can expect the same old bs from him.\nBC legalized fentynol! They found a giant fentynol lab out there. Imagine how many more there are! \nCrack heads all over our major cities in Canada. Jobs are down, economy is down, human rights is down. But he has nice socks.

Yes! Trudeau, I know this is hurting all of us. Thank you for standing against Trump. So proud of you for fighting back. Unfortunately we have to live with this jerk. He has destroyed all of us. He doesn't realize how much it is affecting the rest of the World. God Bless You and the citizens of Canada. I pray this ends soon. Stick to your beliefs. Do your best. I'm sorry to all of you for our greedy dictator. That you have to suffer because of his greediness. Not all of us believe in what he is doing.

No more buying US. No visits/ holiday's. No stocks. Cant help but feel this is what trump and musk want, i.e. to have stockmarket get weaker so they can buy more. \nLook over there...(aligning with Putin dictator, Bullying zelensky, illegal firing staff, tariffs, accusing zelensky of propaganda as US fox news is known for it) whilst they shake markets up, risking world war 3 for multiple reasons. With the Supreme court in his pocket, the US is following Putins lead and becoming a dictatorship. The law is far to pliable there at this point. \nAll those voted Trump in and think he is making America great, you are DILLUSIONAL!\nHe will take you and your families down.. the young get sent to war, the old asshole sociopathic men sit by the fire protected. It took a very long time for Germany to escape the reputation after Hitler. You want the rest of the world to disdain and never trust your country and people?! Germany recovered, but it was painful healing. \nHow bout Trump sleeps out on the streets, deals with fentanyl addicted unsupported US citizens and veterans or get sent to war? Or what about his children or grandchildren?! Would he care if they were called to stand for the country if WW3 broke out, because of him? Trump truly is making a statement... he gives 2Fs about the people, totally self serving. For the capitalist bullies who love money at any cost..even blood money... non of your investments will make a difference if you have no heating, water, food, jobs, lost family members through war and crap health system... not an ounce of love, respect, compassion, respect, leadership in the US government. The World can be better. Choose better... for all that is sacred... stop the madness!!\n\nWell done Canada & Trudeau... love and support you beautiful people. ❤\nLove and Strength to the people of Ukraine around the globe. I pray for this nightmare to end in your favour. For your loved ones to be safe and protected and that you can be reunited once more. Love and praise for Zelensky...you are a phenomenal leader. May you receive the support needed to end the war.❤\nHang tight US citizens who wish a very different US .❤

Keep your Fentanyl out of America, end your tariffs on the goods you import from America and protect your North West passage from China and we won’t put tariffs against your bull shit insignificant country.

Y is this dumb still on that position?? I thought Canadian had enough of him. ? No, surprise that low iq immigrants who are refuted from US ends up in Canada.

It’s mind boggling what this administration has done so far. I don’t understand what they are trying to obtain… chaos and the collapse of the global economy? Empower Russia? What’s the end game?

I give a thumbs up because i actually have pride in America for the second time in my life.... your country with its weak borders is how one of the three ways fentanyl gets in ...canada Mexico and Florida are the main ways fentanyl gets in so what stupid people do drugs im not crying over it and there are few that gets tricked to take that stuff and all that help getting fentanyl to people are murderers ... hell is real so in the end those that profit will have a bad eternity so im happy

I’m going to be sick please don’t leave us here with this despicable excuse for a monster we have “running” our country and his whole cabinet full of unhinged, uneducated, bullies and bigots…. \n\nThis is the end of the USA… and what’s worse..? My our fellow Americans voted that criminal, narcissist, pig into office… and he will now eliminate everything we were and everything we once stood for…. No love. No diplomacy. No promise of a better life. No fighting Climate crisis. No belief in science. No allies standing hand in hand against evil. \n\nThis is it…that monster is the end of us by the time these 4 years are up…bravo American citizens… look at what you have done.

This will hurt us all. Canadian President has a big heart for his people. I hope all this can swiftly end.

Brilliant end of leadership for Trudeau. No leader is perfect, but he has always been diplomatic, respectful and has stood up for our people. Proud to be Canadian ❤️

He’s a small minded man, didn’t he step down ? Canada needs a new leader, Ukraine will take the deal to end the war, Trump can and will do what he said .. it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks of Trump personally.. it’s going to be uncomfortable people don’t like change but Trump is not going to stop he’s just getting started and he doesn’t care what people think of him he’s confident in his choices

CNN should be ashamed of themselves. Trump is the greatest president this country will ever know \n\nJustin Trudeau, you don’t make sense. You or a career corrupt politician. President Trump wants world peace so don’t make it into anything else. God wins in the end you lose. you already lost see ya.

On the end Trump will be chased by his own people...

As a Canadian I don't like PM Trudeau but he is bang on about tariffs harming everyone and this speech here is fire ? This is going to end badly for Trump just like it did in his first presidency because it will hurt American's economically, and eventually they will push back against Trump. Love that he calls him Donald, not president Trump...LOL.

Let's just stop this shit since when do we have issues between the US and Canada? Why is this happening? Please stop Donald this can't end good ?

Americans that voted for DT, are getting fired by DOGE. Americans voted for DT because he said, he could end the SMO in 24hrs, but in RUSSR's favor. DT is the monkey's paw of presidents. ??‍♂️

Canada can end the tariffs by ending controlling your boarded as requested.

Trudwau is ending his term in a very great way

?at the end of the day PUTIN IS A KILLER AND YA IN THE COMMENTS CANT DENY THAT I LIKE TRUMP BUT PUTIN IS THE WORLDS BIGGEST THREAT ??

Bought enough maple syrup until the end of the year at a price before tariffs. It’s too bad for Canadian bacon won’t be purchasing that anytime soon

I don't care about pretty speeches, you didn't honor your end of the deal justin, so let's tarriff it out , don't tell Americans what we need and don't need.

Wrong, you guys will end in the ice age.

wow... that's ballsy and rhymed. See... this is a leader i can stand with. Thank you for this. But honestly, this feels like a bad breakup.\n\nI don't know what the hell Donald is doing. Current US Administration is alienating its friends and allies. I wonder what the end goal is.

End the war! not prolong it!

the end of the free world as we know it

Don't worry. This joker will be out by the end of the year and replaced by Peirre. And finally the common sense plan will be in effect

Thanks Donnie, you’re an imbecile with 34 felony convictions, enjoy things while they last, it all ends drastically for you.

I like how Trudeau,and Ford have responded so far,but this has to end yesterday.

I think this effect has already been anticipated by the current US administration and I surmise they will shift their trade relations with Russia perhaps they can get a better deal with Russia. Sad but perhaps true. I hope not as it is going to be an end to liberal democracy ushering the age of authoritarianism and empire building.

I’m a 53 year old Canadian. I went to college on an athletic scholarship & lived there for 10 years after turned professional in my sport. Why, why, why - with all the problems going on in the world right now to tackle - why would you want to start a trade war with your closest trading partner & most loyal ally? Not to mention that your list of Allies is shrinking daily. This is not going to end well for either of us. \nI just arrived home from a trip to the grocery store - making sure nothing in my cart said “ made in the USA” on it due to the new tariffs that began today. \nThe irony is, many of the states where Trump won by the biggest margin, are the states that are going to get hit the hardest from Canadian retaliation tariffs ( Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Indiana, the Dakotas - just to name a few). A lot of farmers in those states are going to be hit extremely hard with the fertilizer tax. After Canada, the next 3 largest Potash producers are Russia, Belarus & China. So , good luck \nWhen the cost of fruit & vegetables skyrocket across the US. Maybe you’ll put a little more thought into your vote 4 years from now.

Trump is in it for destruction, the more complete the destruction the better. USAID destruction is only an example. Trump will continue to destroy and destroy because his whole agenda from the very beginning is to destroy rather than to build, that’s his design his way to get the most attention, building and constructing is tedious and long term and requires sacrifices, and does not garner him the blasting short term attention he needs, he will never build. He will destroy everything until he dies and his end goal is to go out with a Bang destroying the entire US of A and killing everyone with him. That’s what Hitler did to German just before he died. That is Trump. Trump is America and America has always been Trump?

Canadians are the nicest ppl. They would never make war with anyone before trying all resources before. Can you imagine how much they were pushed to end up doing this? Trum literally is making history, and not in a good way. He just came here to flip everything around in bad ways.

American from North Carolina here. 100% support for Canada's reaction. Many of us can't wait for this utter nightmare to end.

Trump needs to take notes from Justin! Justin is an amazing leader from my perspective. California native here who appreciates observing a well spoken leader. Hoping this comes to end soon. Trade wars are not beneficial to us or anyone else.

idk there was so many things imported from Canada. but Canada Canada imports half of its goods from the U.S. over all the i think Canada will hurt more. no real winner at the end

Trump is trying to end war that’s why he wants to make peace with Russia! And there are a LOT of rude Canadians just as Americans! I don’t think Canada and America ever been allies or close friends HONESTLY speaking! But what Trudeau is making a point, this will not go well for everyone! Wow this handsome man knows French as well! How smart of him!

Remember the Roman Empire, British empire, Spanish , Vikings French , USSR, and now USA. All things come to an end

I'm sorry our Canadian's fellows, this is not personal, it's just business. All this year the USA economy has been decreased because we buy (importing) more goods than selling (exporting). We are no in good shape economically to support other countries' economies. We need companies to come back to produce in the USA and those extra charges are an incentive to start producing again in the USA. After our economy is better, we can make new deals. \nAbout Fentanyl, it is funny that he said that it was all good and after that, saying just in the last months implemented all kinds of security measures. LOL \nHe speaks nice, but he is not a smart guy. Putting tariffs back to the USA makes it worse with Donald Trump. Donald Trump is a businessman, he can keep increasing the taxes and in the end, Canada will be hurt more than the USA. I suggest to peacefully open a negotiation with Trump, not to fight back at the same level... don't take it personally, it is just business.

In history till now… White House are hanky panky, cocky and bastard. Puppet Prime! \nThey do keep their word in beginning but somehow there will bastard you in the end.

As a real life human person. I stand with Donald. Time to end these corrupt career politicians. Trudeau/Castro is lying and his rhetoric is obviously a desperate attempt at saving face. The Scorpion will always sting, the nature of these people can not be hidden for long.

Trudeau, your gonna lose in the end, you just dont know it

It's not a tarrifs war. This is a false flag. Trump is someone wanting and envying a dictatorship role and has the power disease that Hitler, Mussilini, Caligula, Putin, Kim Jung Un and the like all have and had until they met their end eventually. All the signs are there and Trump has the habit of bragging about it beforehand. Time to stand up now.

As an American, this makes sense. We have always had a deficit with canada and Europe. Trump wants that to end, and America is always stronger on its own. As much as I like our neighbors in Canada, your government is trash and has been trashing your country. You guys need your own donald
